Will BALPA insist on BA F/O's being able to bid for Qatar 777F commands as they did with GSS (under the BA SCOPE agreement)?
One would hope that BALPA had more pressing priorities with the impending job losses amongst GSS employees than the continued rights of BA pilots to help themselves to other people's commands.
No. Qatar Airways is a stand alone company and IAG are buying capacity on their freighters.
GSS only ever existed to operate BAWC services and was only formed as a UK subsidiary of Atlas when it was pointed out by the CAA that it was illegal for an N-reg company to carry out UK based work. I think BALPA were quite concerned about US pilots helping themselves to other people's commands.
My thoughts are with the GSS employees at what must be a very difficult time.
