Im afraid i agree with NSF !! The practice of the ex BA guys milking the best terms and conditions when they were at BA and then staying in the industry after there retirement from BA and effectively subsidising jobs at astreaus stinks. it effectively lowers the t &c s for all of us in the industry.
it is exactely that - a shuffling of the pack - effectively a scabbing of jobs from aer lingus pilots. not a good situation for the wider pilot community.
good luck to those at aer lingus
