HOWEVER BA needs pilots so should offer these pilots to relocate to LHR to retain their jobs
Please be careful with your assumptions. From earlier in this very same thread:
Approximately 25% of the slot portfolio is required to be relinquished by BA as part of the deal. (Branson claims to have a plan for them!)) Significant productivity savings by both BA and BMI Airbus pilots will also dramatically decrease the manpower requirements of the new entity.
One way or another there was always going to be a surplus of pilots to be dealt with?
BA are unlikely to recruit any new pilots for considerably more than 6 months! Ask anyone in the hold pool!
However, it is for the BMICC to propose to Lufthansa/IAG a more palatable mechanism for dealing with their surplus.
