as they did when hundreds of them volunteered to fly as cabin crew
Every pilot who I have spoken to wanted the company to survive.
We wanted to support the 30,000+ staff who wanted to keep their jobs, and to support the 1000s of crew who came to work.
I personally beleived that many crew who voted to strike did so having been very poorly advised and led by Bassa.
I now am sure we did the right thing , even for the benefit of those who went on strike; because things could have become much worse for them.
Check out the transcript of the branch secretary's tribunal for some shock reading and insight into the behaviour and mindset of the Bassa top table.
And where is the money?????????
Anyway, back on topic.
Seniority can be recognised, but is not automatic, and cannot be "age" based.
I expect BMI pilots to go to the bottom of the list but keep"grandfather" rights and current pay , until they catch up to BA pay.
