Oh dear Spanner. You lose the argument and then have to complain to the Mods. Very poor debating by you. Stick to the facts and the theme of the discussion.
VCC's are being allowed to leave their departments as those departments ultimately will be farmed out to agency staff. All they are doing is speeding up the process.
Its not as if BA's pilots are blindly oblivious to the fact that agency pilots may be used as cruise pilots in the future, plus the hours they are creditied with whilst snoozing in the bunks will only count 50% towards their cap. Emirates do that, so why not BA? Seems a good idea to me. What will BA's pilots do if agency cruise pilots are brought in to save money. Go on strike? Surely not!
VCC's will not find flying so much fun if their own ground job disappears and they are left with Mixed Fleet flying on £11,000 a year and £2.40 an hour.
Think about it, you are digging your own grave.
