This is a very interesting poll. However, the fact of the matter is that I am an unhappy mainline pilot (ex-CFE) who is from now until an aggreement is reached going to be operating 5/6 day rotations thru BHX/MAN on the RJ100.
My own personal view is that the BACC have an agenda which is significantly removed from that of either the pilots or management.
It's about time BACC consulted the members, hardly any of my colleagues are interested in operating this work pattern - even if we take up their offer of secondment to BHX/MAN we cannot go until SCOPE is sorted, so we can't even relocate to appease our families/partners.
I cannot for one moment think why the BACC can demand that the employees of a non-BA company be offered BA plc contracts, surely this upto the individual airlines (GB, BMed, Maersk). And for that matter, the current state of BA isn't the most attractive of airlines to work for (well at Gatwick at least).
We can only hope for a quick and amicable solution so that lives are not disrupted any more than they have to be. Pilots in LGW want to stay in LGW, pilots from the regions probably want to stay in the regions - so BALPA try to make everyone move. MAGIC.
Enough said.
