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!
I'm intrigued? Under what law / legislation do you think that they could sue BA?
Or are you of the gordon brown 'entitlement' generation that seems to think employees have a devine right to pretty much everything?
