Being at EOG on the 737 and intimately connected to crew on the Avro RJ at ex-CFE (only known as the CRJx at BA if you are bidding for a command (C) at Gatwick (X)-hence the confusion!!) I might be able to shed some light on the current differences and what the future picture will hold.
Currently as stated above BA mainline pay applies, the fleet is also going onto EOG allowances from this month I believe. FHR will NOT apply until April 2002 and full BA leave will not apply until 2003. At present the RJ fleet is only eligible for 4 weeks leave per year, although the situation is improving with the advent of wrap around days in the next leave period. Although it was stated above that Carmen is doing the rostering as on the 73 at LGW they will not have bidding rights until April 2002 when the RJ fleet becomes fully integrated at Jubilee House. I hope this helps, it has confused the hell out of me!
Oh and to all the anoraks above BA CitiExpress also operates the BAe 146!!!!
