Interesting post.
As for GSS and BACON, they are fundamentally different to PL. The resolution also needs to be fundamentally different. As far as BA BALPA is concerned, all pilots flying for PL must be on the Master Seniority List.
Period.
(An offer of secondments has already been made by BA. It was declined by balpa.)
This will of course mean that current mainline pilots will be entitled to bid for positions in PL (although the scheduling, and T&Cs are unattractive) It also means that PL pilots will eventually have the right to bid onto mainline fleets should they desire.
What can possibly be bad for pilots about this?
Unfortunately, anyone seeking employment with PL should be aware that there is 'turbulence' forecast in the immediate future! Things could get rather unpleasant.
Wish BA BALPA luck. It is planned to benefit EVERYONE!
