Having left BMI (or BM as it was then ) in 1996 having joined in 87, I was wondering how that would possibly be the case too.
I admit to having very little understanding or interest in the TUPE rules having long ago forsaken the UK for pastures less brown (well, in most respects) but it seems to me BA/IAG whatever you want to call it, are buying Bish's Baby so I would have expected that being tagged on the end of a BA seniority list was a result for anyone from BMI.
I would be mightily p1ssed off had joined I BA in 87, & now found myself about to have a (ex) me slotted in ahead in seniority, having worked for BA for the square root of b*gger all days/years. Shome mishtake shurely ? ? or does it really work like this ?
If it does, it just goes to show, I should have stayed put in 96
This could become my second biggest career regret after failing to get into BCAL in 86 having failed to impress the Ozzie (?) bloke at the final interview
