The Scope clause only protects BA pilots from being undermined by BA owned / operated aircraft
which only illustrates that the whole scope clause is rather shaky, since what "BA owned" means post IAG is unclear
Whatever, IB pilots agreed a new scope agreement that included the IAG implications. IAG tore that up shortly thereafter...
The BA scope agreement is being quoted as why BALPA are being asked to try and secure the work. That is while BA / IAG / BALPA are trying to reach an amiciable solution. When the gloves come off, I'm not sure anyone (including BALPA) will regard our scope clause as worth much legally.
