Am I the only one to be slightly disturbed by your message to BALPA and the NEC, and supposed strong suggestions to the BACC?
The BACC are our reps - ie they represent the views of the vast majority of the BA flight crew.
And, as I pointed out earlier, we agreed to the £10M pa savings to allow the integration to be achieved.

The key point is that these savings are subject to the BACC, ie the representatives of the BA flight crew, being satisfied with arrangements regarding seniority.

Would it be easier for you if we simply referred to the BA flight crew instead of the BACC? Then your posting reads

"BALPA NEC should take note that some hold them personally responsible if they renege on the legal stance that they insisted was the only avenue open at the time of the bmi/BMED takeover, if a similar line is not strongly suggested to the BA flight crew too."
