Under TUPE even if bmir agreed they had an undertaking to take these few from Eastern they could dismis them at transfer for an ETO reason or just vary their contract because of that. The reality is they would at least only get the same contract as everybody else meaning a long trot North for them! In addition they could also only pay them the same as they were getting at Eastern as they would not vary the T and C's they already had!
Does anyone know if there is a mobility clause in Eastern pilots current contract again because if they have it's only gonna mean one thing, bagpipes and porridge.
I really hope Eastern keep there guys and keep em busy where they want to live, because being a long way from home makes you a miserable git. Ask my mates and they'll tell ya!!!
