Pete,Mike sorry to have made that immature post,but I'm affraid I saw red when 7 of my best mates are being picked on and called "Cuckoos" by someone who claims not to hold a grudge against them. It seems a strange thing for him to say. I also feel sorry that you find that the management are your enemy, perhaps it is just a poor selection of words but at a time like this shouldn't we be working with management rather than despite them.
To get back to the Transfer agreement, and to again answer your question, Pete. The TA was, as far as I am aware, negotiated between bmi,bmir and bmi pilots council. At that time nobody from bmi would have wanted to be seen dead in teh front seat of a bmir acft, you may recall that we flew SAABs in those days. You will also like to note the bmir pilots have never been represented in the negotiation of the TA, but then again everyone concerned considered that bmir were gaining something from joining bmi.
You will also note that in a previous I challenged you to take bmi to court if you were not satisfied with the treatment of individuals, that challenge still stands, but I guess, Arkroyal its easier to call 7 individuals Cuckoos on the internaet than to fight for the rights of your close colleagues.
Here's another challenge, is there anyone on this site that can confirm or deny that bmi Crew Council were involved or not involved with the negotiation of the TA. Someone on your CC must read this diatribe, speak up and put us all out of our misery and then we can get on with the important things in life like golf etc.
