Just as I predicted both sides are at each others throats. With 20ish new L/H routes thats about 200 extra L/H commands needed (10 crews per a/c) That is about 2/3rds of the potential joiners, (some of the joining Capts I predict will leave. when terms are explained) some sense of the potential benefits for all needs to be considered. I just hope the two CCs can reach a sensible understanding. To produce a thorn within BA would just play into managements hands, We all saw what happened at EOG and the years of debate that took place. Bidline was only saved by making a separate fleet with a unique scheduling process. I was on the BACC at that time & realise now we could have played it better. There is only one true enemy, & its not your fellow pilots.
