Transfer of Undertaking or Acquisition of Assets

Does anyone remember which airlines these phrases refer to?....And now there's BMI.I'm pretty sure that IAG/BA know the difference between the phrases and you can be sure their lawyers are setting up the BMI arrangement,in that respect,to be just what they want.They have stated that there will be job losses.Their largesse will only extend to what they want out of it,basically the LHR slots.They would rather maybe the rest just went away.
Because of the above,DOJ seniority (Does adjusted FO date still mean anything to anybody?) is simply unrealistic and the BA pilots scope clause (good job guys)
with their T&C commitments will see to it that it won't happen.
Take the seniority deal with all the usual freezes and protections and look forward to the future.
Remember that the seniority system,conversion agreement and Bidline are often complained about but they continue to be what makes BA so good.
(Well it was in my day!)
ATB and keep the sunny side up.
