To clarify, no pilot has been made redundant but positions have been put at risk and the holders of these positions have been informed. Out station pilots, some trainers and managers. Why? Because these roles will not continue so the employees must be consulted with. That is what is now happening and it is likely new positions will be offered to those affected. Seniority is not a legally sound system and because these are base closures or management posts being lost Last in first out cannot be used and the company agreements don't apply in a merger. When Glasgow closed those pilots were put at risk and then offered roles at LHR. Not all pilots were put at risk just those posts affected. This way is legally sound. All bmi pilots will support resolutions to ensure these pilots get new posts.
