Once again to reiterate for any waiverers.

Look to the Qantas experience to see what management have in mind.

*Qantas pilots are effectively locked out of the proposed Jetstar expansion and there are hundreds of aircraft on order for Jetstar to expand. ( Qantas also has aircraft on order for a slight expansion but they are mainly replacements).

* The claims being made by BA management are the same being made by QF management 3 years ago. "It's a separate airline." "It won't grow beyond X number of aircraft."

The BACC is in close contact with AIPA via various channels. They know what you are up against and what you must do to counter it.

If you let Open Skies operate as planned without BA pilots having access to those seats then forget about your career plans.

BA FO's, this means you. Pilots wishing to join BA, this also means you.

Please heed this warning.
