As I have already said, all the Brymon maintenance is the subject of an agreement with BRAL/Manx, and this is expected to continue even should the 'joining' of the Companies hit any (highly unlikely) snags.
Maybe with hindsight, and I speak as a BRAL Line Pilot, Canada wasn't the best option, but that is why the maintenance is going to the Isle of Man at top speed.
Its always difficult to be objective on these pages, but I believe the Brymon/BRAL/Manx transition will be one of huge benefit to all who are involved. It will be slow but sure, and very very profitable. The spinoffs for pilots are expected to be good, with everyone getting to the highest common denominator -in pay, conditions, pensions etc - out of the two organisations. Watch out JEA (or whatever you're called this week) watch out Gill.
Of course, this depends on our joint management, but there are some very solid people on both sides of the merger - lets just hope they're the ones we keep!
