I'm getting very confused with all these acronyms in both this thread and the
GB Pilots to join BA? one.
Have I decoded the following correctly?
BACC (British Airways Company Council, BALPA)
CC (Company Council, BALPA)
BA Mainline (British Airways Plc Pilots)
BAR (British Airways Regional, subdivision of BA mainline, does this still exist?)
EOG (European Operation at Gatwick, subdivision of BA mainline, now renamed SHAG)
SHAG (ShortHaul Operations at Gatwick, subdivision of BA mainline)
CFE (City Flyer Express, now absorbed into BA Mainline)
Brymon (Brymon Airways, now amalgamated into British Airways CitiExpress)
Manx (Manx Airlines, now amalgamated into British Airways CitiExpress)
BRAL (British Regional Airlines, now amalgamated into British Airways CitiExpress)
BACE, BACX, BACXe. Are these all acronyms for "British Airways CitiExpress"?
Sledge talks of the "BA group" but this keeps changing so much, I keep losing track of who is in it these days. Is the following correct?
British Airways Plc (Mainline Pilots) Operating to UK, Europe & World Wide (Concorde, Boeing 747-400, Boeing 777-200, Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Boeing 737-300, Boeing 737-400, Boeing 737-500, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 767-300).
BA CitiExpress is a wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways which operates within the UK and Europe from a number of UK regional airports. Brymon Airways, British Regional Airlines and Manx Airlines have been combined to form BA CitiExpress. It is also the intention to integrate the sister subsidiary, British Airways Regional with BA CitiExpress later in the year. The combination of the four regional operations into one combined unit, operating as part of British Airways, will make it the largest regional airline in Europe with 79 aircraft serving 49 destinations. (BAe 146 RJ-100, ATP, DASH 8-300, Embraer 145, Jetstream 41).
