Citiexpress pilots shouldn't take it personally, - but (imho) it's sad to see pilot salaries and terms reduced at BHX and MAN.. .. .Well there are 80 BALPA members at BHX and probably a similar number at MAN. . .Unfortunately there is sod all chance of the association preventing the 146 being operated by Citiexpress. I doubt Balpa's ability to negotiate anything worthwhile on behalf of the above guys. . .The LHR pilots don't give a toss and yet more "BA work" gets given away!. .How long will it be before LHR shorthaul experiences the same deleterious outcome as the regions?
