i know a senior solicitor and discussed it with her, the regulations will apply to ba and any other company so will have to change the way promotions etc work, however, because of the size of ba and how intrinsic seniority is on their work practices ba could argue a postponement to the regualtions, i.e. bringing different parts of the regs in at different times, over a predetermined time scale. they could also argue that because of the size of the work force it would not be appropriate to implement all of the regs, a bit like when j major negotiated an opt out clause of maastricht. it is going to be a bit of a headache when the regs come in to force and i simply can't believe someone, somewhere isn't already working out a preliminary plan of action, time will tell!
