FlyeBe/Bacon seniority Merger
A test case in Eire where civil servants were phohibited from applying for a higher position until they had at least 5 years service was deemed indirect age descrimination in EU law. A seniority list operates the same way,it denies one group young or old from obtaining a position on merit, qualifications, etc. My legal friends assure me seniority lists for airline jobs are the same as this Eire case and cannot survive in an IR court. It is only a matter of time before an aggrieved pilot takes his employer to court and the FlyBe/ Bacon merger seems a fertile ground for such action, judging by a lot of posts.
