It's all very pathetic really! Can I blame BACC for trying to shaft BACX employees in order to protect themselves? no not really, but please spare us the lengthy attempts at justification! All it does is antagonise further.
Now, the way I see it, BACXCC look after our interests at BACX, so;
Tell BA we want nothing to do with the RJ's they have on offer.
Had their offer of them not come along, we would still, sooner or later, have acquired bigger aircraft.
Why do we really want aircraft with all these strings attached? Go get some from the open market, in that way BACC can go and get st####d.
I stongly suspect, that left to the market forces, we would see a few available RJ's before long anyway!
As for possible scope! You can't really argue with that logic, surely not! It appears to me, a realistic expectation, that BA pilots be prevented from flying smaller aircraft in the region's. And the idea that they should be allowed access to the turboprop fleet without starting at the bottom of the seniority list, well, that's just ludicrous!!
