Firstly welcome to PPRuNE - we're glad to welcome 1st timers to the debating chamber.
You make a valid point about the complexities of GDOJ v BDOJ. When Baby was expanding quickly then GDOJ was not an issue - everyone's job was safe who was thinking about redundancies then? But the changing economic situation has brought this issue sharply into focus. What is needed is for the nettle to be grasped and the issue to be debated by all the pilots. I am sure a reasonable compromise that protects the interests of existing Baby pilots with a GDOJ and also protects existing pilots from possible future transferees bringing a GDOJ with them is not beyond the collective intelligence.
What is not acceptable is to simply publicly ignore the problem after the 1st round of redundancies at BHX and let it bite you again during the 2nd round of redundancies. If the ex BALPA CC Chair had a viewpoint on GDOJ then he should have consulted the pilots and gone with the majority view rather than trying to manipulate the situation behind the scenes.
