We contemplate and discuss the possible demise of the regional part of "British Airways PLC" and frankly it is very sad,
Of course to be technically accurate, the "the demise of the regional part of British Airways PLC" took place about 4 years ago, when mainline pilots and aircraft were eased out of MAN and BHX.
At that time a supposedly lower cost, wholly owned subsidiary, namely BACX, was expanded and installed, and everyone was assured the operation would move into profit. Presumably, entirely due to those expensive pilots and cabin crew being kicked back down to Heathrow!
It seems that theory was incorrect!
As one of the pilots whose life was turned upside down by this change, I will attempt to ignore the level of sympathy extended to me at the time, by the new occupiers.
I take no particular satisfaction in saying that, no doubt the best part of the operation (London City) will be salvaged, and the remainder given away to an operator with lower cost crews than BACON.
As someone said, such is life (apparently)
