To add to the mix-
There have been a number of Baby FO's who have migrated across to Mainline in the recent past. This is a trend that is likely to continue when vacancies arise as our CP appears to be more flexible than bmiR in allowing pilots to transfer when a demand exists.
Each of those transferees will have their reasons for transferring whether it be location, T & C's or the ambition to fly longhaul. Whatever the reason, if they can be released they should have priority over the hold pool. Until you're an employee you have limited status. I was fortunate to join bmi at a time of 'relative' growth and I can sympathise with those of you in the hold pool but your frustrations are unlikely to influence how business is done.
