It is very unlikely that there will be any convergence in the aims of IAG management and the aspirations of BA Flight Crew in the future. IAG are determined to start a low cost short haul operation that will harmonise with Iberia Express. Any hopes by BALPA members that a line has been drawn under the BMI integration are very much mistaken.

Unfortunately hundreds of them were distracted when they volunteered to serve drinks, something which their new 'colleagues' at BMI found abhorrent. Now as some here scoffed not long ago at the creation of the new low cost Mixed Fleet, the threat from integration of BMI is not as serious for the Legacy cabin crew as for the pilot community. Even a £10,000 bribe couldn't convince many BMI cabin crew to join Mixed Fleet.

BMI Baby employees have been treated very shabbily, and there is some similarity with the plight of Dan Air flight crew when BA took over that operation.
