101917,

Thanks for the input. Would you mind expanding on a couple of points please?

You stated that having a separate ex BMI fleet of pilots within BA would effectively negate any threat of legal action, but that in your opinion, and mine incidentally, that that would be an invidious place to be, but that even if BMI pilots accepted a place at the bottom of the MSL, BA and the union would leave themselves open to individual or group action in the future. If I am correct in my interpretation of your post why would BA run that risk? Would there a legal way that you can see to get BMI pilots on the MSL, other than placing them their in DOJ order, if that is their desire?

Further, if BA did place BMI pilots on the MSL in DOJ order would that not leave BA open to action by pilots of former airlines?

Thank you in anticipation and apologies if I've misunderstood.
