Hunterboy, thats a good point but mute, the fact that BA made BACON, Openskies etc pilots go through selection (before making OS pilots redundant WHILST still hiring for mainline) forces their hand. If BMI pilots get integrated without any selection process for mainline BA would be sued to the ying yang!
For those in the holding pool i would not be concerned, this is going to take years to sort out and in the meantime BA mainline still needs pilots.
