I wouldn't put money on the path of integration either. It is all still to be negotiated and that is not allowed to happen until the money changes hands. The scenario of all bmi pilots being junior to all BA pilots and forever locked on the airbus fleet is as likely to happen as all bmi pilots waltzing in with their doj transferring directly and being able to bid how they please. Nothing has been agreed yet and the larger the deviation from the lawyers advice the higher the likelyhood of it being challenged in the courts.
