Suppose we can call the rest of this thread "BMI BID FORMS -- THE AFTERMATH" !
Hope everyone has seen the latest BALPA newsletter , out in the last few days . I was very impressed . Lots of extremely useful stuff in there -- a MUST READ document . Especially relevant to this thread is the section regarding your rights when the fleet/base offers are made to each of us e.g. you don't HAVE to accept an offer , even if you bid for it ( as I understand it ) .
Regarding the Baby option , all those who tell me that they have bid for it under duress , by virtue of being near the bottom of the seniority list and being under threat of redundancy , will find the constructive dismissal information etc. very relevant .
Amazes me how many colleagues ( OK , a few then ) are'nt keeping up with developments , or have got the wrong end of the stick ( "rumour machine" victims , probably ) , so maybe this thread will catch their attention .
What's that ? -- No , I'm not on the CC . I just hope they don't mind me contributing my ideas .
