I'd just like to remind some of the mainline pilots of a small fact that has been posted on the GB thread. The routes you claim as yours actually aren't owned by you, BA pilots esq, personally. They belong to the company and its shareholders. It is therefore down to the company and its shareholders to decide.
I agree with you that it is wrong for a BACX pilot to crow about being paid less than you. FACT - we are being paid less because (as has been stated before) most of us are where we want to be, GLA, EDI, IOM, INV, LBA, etc.
You carp on about scope and what's yours is yours, but should scope come down to seats on an aircraft we have 5 146's that we flew before, on BA franchise routes. Do you intend to displace these pilots? You also harp on about avaricious BACX pilots slavering to get on your RJ's, who incidentally were being flown previously by ex CFE pilots, ahem. I personally haven't bid to move to MAN or BHX to fly them, see the paragraph above.
I don't think that you have any intention of trying to raise our terms and conditions by your actions. Your actions prevent the movement of routes to BACX with its reduced costbase. With your job goes the dead-hand of waterside and its financial burden. Most of the BACX routes won't have such an overhead which will be a significant driver in making them profitable, possibly. So by restricting that move you'll be kicking your employer doubly.
Oh well. Nothing seems to change.
