I think some of you may be taking this "disadvantaged" thing a bit to literally!
You could end up with all existing bmi flying only being available to bmi pilots. As it changes to new long haul destinations then they will have to have that too. You can't reduce their 6 week roster notice (TUPE) and you won't let them have BA flying until after IB1. Ergo, they can only have new flying, on whatever aircraft type is on that route.
Sounds like the makings of a deal....
