As long as the management pilots have the ability to accept a loss of that role of course they should be allowed to remain employed. Anyone who suggests out of bitterness of "lets knock the management" OR "knock the Training Pilot" syndrome and have them dismissed has never experienced the distress and upset mid career redundancy causes not just to the employee but also their family. What BA are doing by seeking to make redundant those with management or training qualifications is despicable and is very similar to the devisive way the Dan Air NCL/MAN B734 pilots were treated in OCT 1992. Hopefully this will not happen and as along as a BMI TRI/TRE has the personal strength and discipline to accept the role loss and his/her new status a secure career awaits. Disgraceful that personal enmity from BMI employees should suggest otherwise.
