So presumably its the BA pilots on the RJ100 which are responsible for the awful servicability of the aircraft. You know, the stuff that leads to five figure sums being shelled on on wet-leases from Titan to keep the show on the road? Presumably its also the BA pilots who stop the BACX rostering any sort of sensible crewing program on the other fleets too?
BACX isn't part of BA when it suits the BACC. To be honest, I don't really think of BACX as part of BA at all, its just a wholly owned subsidiary, a bit like BMed or GB, its just that BA own it. If BA tried to transfer an entire fleet of aircraft to any subsidiary/franchise, then I consider it only fair that BA pilots should have the opportunity to go with the aircraft like they did with the RJ. I suspect you'd have a few bidders onto the J41 or ATP if it was offered, but as they weren't our aircraft to start with, and we don't operate any equivalent types, there's no real claim for people to go there. If GSS only operated SH330s then the same would apply, but they don't. They're flying 744Fs when we have a large and established 744 fleet, and if they want to expand based exclusively on BA contracts then they'll have to do it in accordance with the BA Scope agreement. The customer is king.
