British Airways - CC Industrial Relations Mk VI

I suspect he is referring to the anticipated transfer of the 'best' routes to new fleet. Without a matrix for transferral, the Union are forecasting that all the long-range routes will be the first to go, leaving the cheaper routes with the old fleet. That would give the maximum savings for new-fleet given that there is still the cost of recruitment and training to absorb as well as setting up a separate scheduling system.

I don't fly world-wide but even I know that there is a substantial difference between a NRT and a BOM.
