Capt Pitbull
I don't see anyone in CFE as being any less of a pilot than the rest. A few I suspect but not all ex-CFE would have been quite happy to remain as CFE and completely seperate from BA. I think i'm probably correct in saying that most are chuffed to bits. I know that the ones I have spoken to are. The opportunities now are far greater than they would ever have been. If I was a low experienced pilot outside of BA in my first job with an airline and then hey-presto I have a seniority number in BA, I would think Chritmas had come. I agree that it seems odd that a low experience co-pilot can be more senior than a captain, but thats only on paper, if you ever fly together your still the boss. It's going to be a long and bitter career for you if you can't just accept that you are now a number and join the queue like everyone else has.
P.S. correct me if i'm wrong but CFE didn't become wholly owned by BA until just a couple of years ago. Where does 1996 come into the equation?
Oh and by the way I also don't qualify for the Xmas holiday payment.
