HS not true.
BACX did not hire 130 pilots, they just did'nt have to fire 130 pilots.
BACX scaled down the Dash 8 fleet and got rid of the J 41 and ATP fleets and thats essentially where the pilots for the RJ came from.
All imposed by our masters at BA, they knew best-Right!

Anyway back to the thread, its simple to me; BA want to hire cheaper pilots to fly the pond and Nigel and Rodney are not best pleased.
I for one cant say that I blame them.

BTW, are any of the losers who ran BACX involved with OS? If so dont worry, they'll soon stuff it up!
