Anton - don't get stressed, my tongue is firmly in my cheek.
I was merely making the point that you said that many BMI pilots won't want LH as their current MH is not their cup of tea. BA LH is a world apart from BMI MH and most, if not all, will jump at the chance to do it. Why do you think there are many 747 FO's in BA who could have an A320 command right near the top of the list?
I've also flown to many of the BMI Sh**tholes in my previous airline and there are a few of them I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to see again!
Longhaul isn't just about distance. I've done the BMI "border of china" route in a 757 and it is a "long" flight. However the operation is a world apart from BA longhaul. I'm only just getting to grips with how good it is flying Longhaul in BA and what I get on the 767 is a fraction of whats available.
And FWIW I will hapily give you danger money to keep those routes! And I'll keep mine thanks!
