and so what then, Count, if bmi pilots are zipped into the BA seniority list would THEY be sacrificing? Bearing in mind they would therefore be joining a solvent company with decent prospects, full staff travel with original DOJ, protected pay, commands, private healthcare, access to 747/777/A380/787, one of the largest and most diverse route networks of any airline, a bidding system that affords amazing life control, an increasing payscale, an LHR base, a market leading pension scheme, a bonus scheme that pays out, a pilot only share reward scheme, an electronic rostering system that allows trip swaps, sector swaps, trips to be dropped, overtime to be picked up with the click of a mouse, etc etc etc
In fact, would there be any sacrifice at all on the part of the BMI pilots? The BA pilots are 10 million down.
It's just that if the above were the case, you would be having penny and the bun, and bizarrely, that doesn't sit too well with around 3300 people.
