Post 99 raised a valid point that has yet to be adressed. Has BA offered any relocation opportunity to those at MAN/BFS/EDI...to move to LHR in whatever capacity /seat/.Or is this an exact copy of the way BA treated the NCL/MAN based B734 pilots 20 years ago in the Dan-Air debacle who lost their jobs despite volunteering to move at their own expense to LGW.For the avoidance of doubt BALPA did nothing for the 186 DA Pilots who were NOT LGW B734 based and merely urged them to accept sums ranging from £1500-£2500 per head. The involvement of the IPA/DAPAG resulted in a better outcome which cost BA £3M. It was only when BALPA realised that they were about to be embarrassed did they become involved and coordinate efforts with DAPAG to seek compensation for ther own members...many of whom were members of DAPAG.Whatever the outcome for BMI,the LHR jobs with BA will be secure and financially superior to those had the Company ceased trading...ask those who joined from City flyer in 2001. As I understand it the BMI pilots will be unfrozen and will be able to bid for a LH position as did those CFE joiners in 2001 who quickly moved to RHS B744.
