No. They'll keep what they have now, which is precisely what TUPE requires. TUPE doesnt protect widebody fkying or command aspirations.

There are too many people here who don't know where the battle lines have been drawn. There are also too many people who haven't realised what a precarious position bmi and its staff are in, how little protection the law will provide them, and how determined BA are to stick to their promise that bmi's cost base will not rise post-merger. They need to either get with the program and pursue economies of scale, or stand alone and be exposed to BA's cost-cutting zeal.
