"airage should put himself in our shoes, and then just maybe he'll realise that his CC have scored once with DanAir a few years back. The world knows what they are like, their record speaks for itself even if it weren't vocalised by the likes of Kevin Judkins and Han Solo."
I WAS STUCK AT EOG(just after DAN takeover) FOR 5YEARS, I KNOW FIRST HAND WHAT IT WAS LIKE !
"Cu has a very good suggestion, but it will never happen, beacuase there would be a BA mainline outcry. "
Not a BA mainline outcry a BA management outcry, see my answer to CU above for more.
Remeber what Kevin said
"We could have said, no they are now bottom of the Seniority, we want all Pilot positions filled by bidding which would cost BA and put all ex-CFE/BRAL guys at the bottom of SH RHS..."
Yes, you can't expect to retain your Commands and fly JUMBO's the next week can you ? You were TAKEN OVER !!! The compromise of keeping Commands is aircraft restriction, do you think this is unreasonable, or you think you should get a JUMBO Command because you did 4-5years in BRAL ??
or
"There is no question of any CE guys flying the Rj on 'secondment' to BA as effectively they would be on a mainline aircraft on inferior terms..."
DO you really want to allow BA to fly BA aircraft on inferior terms. No, I would rather keep the terms and have you improve your life when you come across. Or would you prefer we all go to the lowest common denominator rather than secure the highest for us ALL.
or
"I am telling you that if you want to be able to protect what you can/cannot fly, and the terms for the forseeable future, then you will support Scope...."
Otherwise Ukraine Air will be doing it for US !!!
and
"The sooner you accept that you are now part of BA so anything that is good for BA Pilots is now good for you as well the better.."
You are part of BA now, don't you want the best terms and conditions possible ??
PS Baron Harkonnen....Finnish ?
