As a BA pilot myself, I'd say that Jockster's post about seniority within fleets has no actual basis in fact.
We are still at the stage where the BACC and BMI CC are discussing various areas and no agreement has been reached as yet.
Speculation - yes, plenty, but no facts.

I'd gladly give you my speculative opinion but it would add nothing to the debate.

Yes, there will be time and opportunity to debate these things, but consider

(a) There is no guarantee that it will go through given the European Commission's potential slot demands

(b) And if the slots demanded are accepted, IAG may end up having an excess of pilots and aeroplanes

(c) As the chairman of the BACC said elsewhere, what about the careers and BMI Baby & Regional pilots?

I would have hoped that was the picture we currently need to focus on.
