"Well if that is the case then the crew and pilots will not allow it and we will make a point of that ! If it is going to be anything gb will either go their own way or the will come into the gatwick fleet !"
Look flyer
Think BACON !!
How will you make a point of it?
You will be sold to GB - not a merging, not GB joining the fold - but BA Shorthaul Gatwick leaving the BA Group to become a franchise with GB's palm being crossed with silver.
Willie doesent want you - he wants rid of you, you cost to much and he will pay GB to take you off his hands. Yes - the untouchable mainline is about to be BACONed. It will be another share transfer so that you do not get TUPE and GB will then shred the pay, allowances and leave etc just as has been done with BACON. There will be no transfer to the mothership at fortress LHR because once the deal is announced GB will own you and your fate is sealed/BACONED
I say again
Wait and see!
