But he is being somewhat disengenuous when he says
BALPA have offered a no cost solution to BA, which would satisfy everyone.
Simply put OS pilots on the mainline seniority list.
Nothing else! No outrageous demands. Zilch. Rien. Zip.
BA are risking extremely damaging strike action to prevent this simple, and inexpensive solution.
because he knows that if this is the case, then the cost saving to BA for each individual pilot only exists for as long as he decides to remain on OS T&C's...
And because they're perceived as such a pittance, one must assume that, therefore, the saving will only persist for as long as their initial freeze on "type"...
So, arguably a "no cost" solution as
4468 quite rightly says, but thats not quite BA's point...
