Morning LHR747,

Which manager are you today? We've narrowed it down to two.

Would you care to answer the question I posed earlier?

If BALPA is prepared to concede to any terms and conditions desired by BA* to allow Open Skies to operate at the initial cost base planned by BA**, why will BA not permit OS pilots to join the mainline seniority list?


* no bidline and any scheduling agreement BA want.

** BALPA appreciate there may be additional costs associated with pilots on the MSL flying for OS and have agreed to negate those costs. In fact, WW himself has said that he is prepared to allow us full access to OS provided we renegotiate all T&Cs at LHR. I bet he's not intending for those to be improved.

So you see, the highlighted sentence indicates entirely what this is about and you wonder why we need to protect ourselves!

Stop being so disingenuous. I look forward to seeing you back on the line in the summer.
