Sick,
Yes mate
oh, and you may find that it's not just F/o's who may bid for these vacancies, I believe that some junior captains may too.
seriously though, ALL of us at BA would far rather get ALL of the BA work back into BA, AND get you all onto the BA seniority list.
This was offered to BAcitiexpress pilots, but there BALPA company council told us to get stuffed - their loss.
As BB says, our pay 'change' ( it was certainly not a rise for all) only benchmarked us against other european majors - nothing else. Don't believe the propoganda.
