History will judge who has DODARed and NUTAd, BALPA or BA management. BA claims that this operation will entail a maximum of 6 hulls and is a very marginally profitable endeavour - so much so that BA pilots earning the same as DEPs would so screw the margins as to make it fail. Why risk losing many millions of pounds to make a small profit? The only answer a reasonable man might come to is that this is a front - that a different model to that we are being told about is being rolled out. Ask the Qantas pilots about Jetstar and the Iberia pilots about Clickair, and about the reassurances they were given by their respective managements about those operations and the effect they would have on T&C's. BA pilots would be exceptionally stupid to allow this to happen to them. As to what anyone else thinks about it - who cares? BA can spin it anyway they like.
