IAG/BA might not find the BA company council plans too palatable if it isn't respectful of the current UK/EU laws.
Count & onedollar,

are you familiar with the requirements of TUPE (i.e. current UK/EU law)?

I'm not, but the BACC are. And they are confident that TUPE can be adhered to (and even bettered from a BMI pilot point of view) without disadvantaging any BA pilot.

They also believe that the BMI-CC's chances of securing a deal that is better than the basic requirements of TUPE would be much higher with the help/advice of the BACC. The BMI-CC seem to disagree. Rumours are that EU approval is (thankfully) forthcoming, so I guess we'll soon see which CC is right.
