At the risk of being contentious, is there any reason why BA pilots would want bmi to be integrated? Freetown, Almaty and Tehran (plus Beirut, Damascus, Amman, Yerevan and Baku whilst we're at it) are not exactly prime roster bidding turf and I'd have thought most BA pilots would be quite happy if bmi continued to exist to serve routes which they really couldn't get excited about. Based on the last 10 years, it's also not exactly as though bmi pilots are getting commands way faster than BA guys - probably the opposite.
