Bmrr, that's why I said an "express" would be best for those already employed like yourself but then Nigelondraft's second point becomes all so more relevant. If IAG can do it to Iberia, what makes Ba immune?
I like to look at both sides of an argument in order to make a sound conclusion and yes it will take "years" but, with the sale to be concluded by 1st quarter and bmi losing money like putting petrol in a V12, how long do honestly think IAG will continue to supplement the "fat" of bmi. Redundancies, integration and new contracts may appear quicker than you and I would like. The unionised Ba pilot body will make that decision and that's when you gotta ask yourself, do you protect your progression and your career, protect those selected to follow in your footsteps in order to prevent the eroding of T&C's which plague the industry or accept the greater goodwill to aSll mankind and hope that Europe see's growth of more than 1% over the next few years and it'll be all right jack and we can all play along nicely.
As I said I enjoy a disscussion as it gets minds going and opens up avenues that some may have never considered. Personally, I'm still keeping my water wings on till ba pop them!
Re reading your post you've said pretty much the same. 0420 alarms on Christmas eve I can do without. Who goes out, you decide!(in a Geordie accent)
