To all BMI mainline pilots,
I am, as a BA pilot, considerably more sympathetic to your aspirations than most, however I am observing quiet but subtle manoeuvres by key protagonists in these consultations that will make your future somewhat bleaker than your current worries about being merged on to the bottom of our MSL.
BA will very likely be approaching 737 rated BMI 'group' pilots for assessment to work out of LGW. This will further reduce the required number of Airbus rated pilots for the new combined fleet at LHR.
I anticipate a 'take it or leave it' contract to hit your doormats in the next few months that will no doubt put 'seniority issues' far from your minds.
Good luck.
