"There is also a rumour going around that BA has approached BALPA to offer redundancy to the pilots on the 757 fleet"
As i'm currently on the fleet I would very grateful to know where you heard this information from as it is my understanding that the fleet will continue to operate until oct 09 when 2 x 757 and 1 longhaul 767 will be stood down. If you could also please post your comment on the BALPA forum to add a bit of integrity to the statement it would be most appreciated.
As for everyone swimming at the moment the internal bids regarding part time/retirement and fleet movement was published today so I hope this will help future pilot needs to be clarified asap. In the mean time I wish you all the best of luck
regards,
