You certainly live up to your username Hand Solo!

Please, can we keep this thread on topic. It is about bmi pilots being made redundant because of where they are based. Next time around it might be your airline facing the problem. BALPA policy, as I understand it, is last in-first out across a global pool of pilots. This is not a legal discussion, it is a matter of industrial relations and how British pilots react, especially those employed within the group (including BA pilots). If it is meekly accepted this time, it will become the norm. VS pilots fought off redundancy by fleet post 9/11, bmi pilots kept broadly DoJ 2 years ago when the company wanted to dismiss Captains. Do we want to spend the rest of our careers worrying that the next base or fleet or type change that we take could put us at risk of redundancy and reset our careers to day one?
