I am genuinely surprised. Anyone who has read any of my posts will know that I was one part of that BA group of pilots called BA CitiExpress. I believe that OS will result in the downgrading of UK Airline Pilot salaries and Ts and Cs, I have expressed a degree of doubt regarding the likelihood of support for BA pilots from such as myself, or graduates of other BA pilot groups such as Dan Air or GSS.
However, I thought I would give the other side a fair crack, and set out to read the BA Plane BA Pilot.
It is breathtaking: I can't copy and paste from a pdf, but
BALPA believe the link of common seniority (ie all new pilots whether BA or Open Skies join the master seniority list) allows all BA group pilots to work together to maintain the terms and conditions of the parent group
and
a common seniority list that allows reciprocal access to all BA Group flying on appropriate terms and conditions
so clearly, it wasn't an issue until you felt your own jobs threatened eh? Thanks boys, good to see an ethical approach to union tactics. I would think everyone involved in Dan, GSS, BACX, Connect etc will have to think hard about using their heads or their hearts.
Not sure if it's a case of 'Do as you would be done by' or 'Do unto others before they do it to you'
