Something else that hasnt been mentioned is that due to the reduction of slots, IAG will have a surplus of pilots PRIOR to integration. Inevitably there will be redundancies in BMI mainline prior to integration, how these are handled by BMICC will be an added challenge
.
So there
will be redundancies post purchase but prior to integration? Is this an 'official' consequence of IAG agreeing to surrender 14 of bmi's slot pairs rather than 10? Does BA mainline not have a recruitment requirement? I understand DEP hire has been suspended, however I was led to believe that the priority of integrating the bmi guys was largely the reason behind this?
