Given what is currently going on with BA/IAG's announcements about the future of the regional bases, I'd say those in BMI with high expectations of the 'consultation' should beware.
It seems the IAG management are out to prove their ruthlessness and intend on taking no prisoners or carry any extra load that cannot be justified to the accountants.
The announcements already made: closing all regional bases, notice for all staff in those bases regardless on MSL position. Getting rid of all TRI's and management pilots (cabin crew management too apparently) at LHR. It does not bode well...
Good luck to all involved it looks like they have a plan and it's not to make friends!
