- not sure when you came along, (actually looking your details you would have 'missed' all the excitement) but I should point out that by "interpretation of how things went at LGW in the late nineties" things had pretty much settled own - it was the 'early nineties' where the issues arose and we had some rather bizarre behaviour from a few of the BA 'secondees' which to the credit of the DA F/Os we were able to handle.

The lessons for BMI are:

BMICC - do your best against overwhelming odds. Assuming you have no 'redundancies' (see above) during the process it is roughly 340:3000

Pilots - things will almost certainly improve as you 'rise up the list' and you are able to bid onto other fleets with a reasonable seniority. The problems largely arise for those with less time to retirement where either a fleet/seat change is blocked or not financially viable.
