Like Airclues I'm a bit confused about the claim of secondments.
I've lost track of the details of the Open Skies situation and I am happy to stand corrected but I do know for certain that when it was being set up management were very very resistant to BALPAs suggestion that some BA mainline pilots could be involved in/seconded into the operation as was being done with GSS (as I recall it one of the words used by management was "contaminated", which didn't help industrial relations at all).
At least one ex BA senior captain certainly went to Open Skies in a management role when it started but I've not noticed an option for OS in the annual bid or any sign of anyone being posted there in the annual bid results....but TBH I don't look hard at either these days.
I could have missed something - are there actually any pilots on the BA mainline seniority list seconded to Open Skies at the moment?
