Can anyone here give an intelligent, elegant, even eloquent explanation why BA are still putting money into OpenSkies, which commercially is all washed up? It is there ready to shaft BA pilots. It is their New Fleet. Ha ha.
Maybe because its actually doing ok out of Paris and is causing AF some serious headaches as it now has significant market share in J from Paris - New York. Openskies is not new fleet for pilots, because we have a legally binding (and confirmed in the high court) scope clause. Do BASSA?
And cut the rubbish about pilots joining Unite, its been firmly put to bed above.
BA's flight crew need to wake up to the fact that there are thousands of pilots who would take their jobs in a second for half the money.
No there arent. 1/2 the money is less than the worst paying company in the UK, for you half the money is more than most of the competition, see the difference? Any idea how long a type rating takes? How much sim capacity there is spare in the world? How many IRE/TREs BA have to do the training? No, thought not.
