Because of the internet and certainly the info available here BA's ruleset(s) should be well known. On and off, feast, then famine, only entries on one fleet..then everything opens up...or doesn't......
Because of this some were miffed when they misjudged things in the early 90's and got stuck on the classic 747 for years, some got stuck and miffed at LGW, most Flight Engineers got very miffed after 9/11........... One thing is for sure, you're not even in the game until you've got a seniority number, and you only get that by signing for the seat you've been offered.....
fly4more..if you think that selection strategy, if true, is an example BA being devious I've got news for you.......they can be much more devious than that
