Cold Soak,
" why not sack all flight crew, sell all the aircraft and charter out every single flight, in fact, better still lets just liquidate everything and not run an airline at all.... Save a fortune!"
Ha Ha. This is BA management's strategy and has been for a few years now. You see it has nothing to do with expensive BA Pilots, they've all retired to the countryside. This is a problem for all outfits no matter how small or inexpensive the flight crew, there will always be another outfit there ready to jump on the bandwagon(Eastern Europe Pilots next) resulting in wages resembling a death sprial. This is why Scope was started in the first place. Damn Accountants.
PS. I agree the current Scope agreement presented to BACX is unacceptable, Prop Pilots discriminated against. Even though BA put that clause in, BA management are having a laugh if the think it will be accepted.
