And here we have yet another tedious recurrence of the 'seniority's not fair, it must be illegal' rant. The basic premise of seniority is perfectly fair. There's also a very good chance that it would stand up to scrutiny in court. It would certainly take very deep pockets to even attempt to prove otherwise, with absolutely no guarantee that the outcome would be in your favour.
What has become clear over the past 12 pages is that we will never reach agreement on what a 'fair' integration of BMI pilots into BA should look like.
It is also clear that BA pilots/BACC feel that the best result for BMI pilots can be achieved with agreement between the two CCs and a joint approach to dealing with BA management.
The BMI pilots/BMI-CC (unhappy with proposals tabled by the BACC) feel that they can negotiate a better deal if they 'consult' with BA on their own.
It appears that no amount of debate here is going to change the viewpoint of either side.
Will the BMI-CC will be in for a rude awakening when the come to 'consult' with BA management or will they come out with a better deal than the BACC proposed fighting for?
We shall see soon....
