There has been some concern about the transfer of routes to MF, particularly on WW. It should be borne in mind that BA are limited in the routes they can transfer to MF. Existing crew would love to see MF saddled with all the junk routes with low allowances and no box payments, but thats hardly fair on their fellow employees for a start! BA cannot transfer any routes to MF that use ICC, so that rules out India, the Middle East, the Far East (bar HND which has no ICCs). BA also only wish to transfer (I'm told) routes which have only a single service per day, to avoid problems with legacy crew turning on the MF crew in the hotel. So whats left? Not much bar the long haul routes they've got! A better example of route transfer exists in EF where MF have a mix of routes, some good , some bad, but there has been no wholesale switch of high allowance routes, only a fair switch. That, for me, suggests BA are being genuine in their efforts to distribute work fairly. On a final note, there has been grumbling that MF are getting all the new routes. These are growth routes, and they may very well be routes where legacy crew costs would make the route unprofitable. If MF are flying growth routes it gives BA scope to expand and ultimately reduces the likelihood of legacy crew losing all their lucrative trips!
