As
studi and
max appreciate, this is not just about BA and bmi.
It would be short-sighted in my opinion for BA pilots to ignore the ramifications of how they conduct themselves during this integration/merger/takeover on the wider fraternity. They are no doubt a formidable force, but still a minority in terms of the UK pilot workforce.
And to accuse other contributors of ignorance when they have been at the sharp end of protecting payscales that are far more generous than BA's, seems to me, odd.
One wonders what result a BALPA referendum on "The Method of Merging Seniority Lists" would yield? It might serve to neutralise at least some of the vested interest by involving the "silent majority" who, whilst they do not have an immediate interest in the debate, are watching carefully to see what happens.
