I understand that BA pilots (FOs presumably) want to be able to bid to take commands at PL(seniority list or no).
Oh, for Pete's sake......
All PL commands will be available, subject to seniority, to
any pilot on the seniority list, irrespective of how they got there. If it is not popular, it will be extremely junior, and I don't feel it will be especially popular. If it is really not popular, there will be direct entry commands. Everyone wins.
If you are not on the seniority list, commands will be available to mainline BA guys who want them and you lose.
That said, all of the above is a distraction. The big picture is about an attempt to reduce mainline terms and conditions.
It's not rocket science, really.
