Earl says it all:
The contract was awarded years ago to XL and they have been running it for years on a TF-regn AAI747 with a mixed of Icelandic non-BALPA subscribing crews, until omni was awarded it
Did XL keep it all-British? I think not...
and now BALPA wakes up to fight for it to be awarded back to XL so they can stick it back on the Icelandic operation??
I'd hate to go to war with BALPA, as they'd spend the first 3 years trying to work out whose side they were on.
Time to cancel by BALPA subs, I think
