Little Prince - a shame to see your back spouting your usual brand of uninformed rubbish. Please explain how a scope deal allows BA pilots to fly for you after retiring. At 55 our pilots are gone, out of BA, no more, contract ended, pension paid. They are no longer BA pilots, so they don't remain on the BA seniority list and they have no right of transfer to any flying job anywhere. If you're aggrieved about your company hiring BA retirees then take it up with your management, it's got nothing to do with BA pilots or BALPA.

As for the 'right'of BAR guys to come and sit next to you, well who gave you a 'right' to suddenly inherit 10 mainline RJs, or a variety of BAR routes? You don't have a 'right' to them, they've just been gifted to you by BA management. Thats right, by BA management, not your management. The condition of the deal is that people who want to stay in the regions can do so without losing income. If you don't like the deal that gives you RJs that you wouldn't otherwise have had then don't fly them. Not a tough choice, is it? Why should you begrudge our guys getting paid a reasonable wage, after all most BACE posters on this site seem to believe that they're are better because they're cheaper.
