Brymon was at one time an independant airline. It was purchased by BA and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of BA, although it operated seperate to BA. Then came BACX and the the name disappeared along with BRAL and Manx and eventually BAR, but still that was what most people suspect was the intention!
For what its worth I'm with you TR and all the Nigels. What BA management is trying to do is slash and burn your jobs, but to those who compare BACX with Open Skies consider this: Brymon was completely seperate to Mainline and its employees both enjoyed the benefits of BA but also contributed to its financial bottom line. BRAL/Manx were purchased by BA and the 3 companys were merged with BAR. Up until then they did their own thing operating routes that BA did'nt or could'nt do(PLH eg). The employees in Brymon/BRAL/Manx were either happy to stay where they were enjoying the lifestyle of a regional pilot living where they wanted to live with a reduced income or they used it as stepping stone and moved on. BA and BACX ruined that and they found themselves forced to have reduced lifestyle along with reduced salarys. These pilots NEVER asked to undercut BA pilots although BA Management forced them to do so being made to fly the RJ for much less than BA pilots.
Anyway ladies and gentlemen I support you in your struggle. Good luck!
