Well its all about being correct and fair. EZY buying an airline and merging two lists of pilots undergoing assessments and pilots waiting for a command course is not easy. This is something the two companies should have agreed on during the negotiations before the actual take over, together with BALPA.
Unfortunately I dont think this is the fact. BALPA has done some errors internaly in EZY, like accepting too many DEC:s etc which put a lot of F/Os down the list and still waiting today for the upgrade. BALPA has stated they are working towards a transparent command progress within the company but that will never happen because of internal connections and agreements to make life easy for others. Thats the business.
So what is wrong, what is right? Should all the EZY guys be put in front of all former GB guys just because they were bought? Or should some of the GB guys come first because them having a earlier CPI date, according to their former manuals?
Just like all the other airlines merging- Good luck. There will always be victims in this business.
