WRT to seniority lists...
Merger of two "equal" airlines e.g. BA and Lufthansa ... merging of seniority.
Takeover of minnow airline e.g. BA and Cityflyer ... slotted in at the bottom of the list with Grandfather rights.
The guys at Cityflyer got IMO a good deal, the junior guys are one minute flying an ATR or RJ with no decent nightstops and average Ts anc Cs - the next they're on the 744 flying to Hong Kong on good Ts anc Cs. The Capts meanwhile keep their commands and have better Ts and Cs.
Anybody that thinks that BACX should have merged seniority with BA based on DOJ is crazy - a lot of them were probably rejected from BA in the first place! They should have grasped the opportunity, bet they wish they had now.
Also you say...
<Bearing in mind you had all your training shuved up your backside by BA you should be grateful and keep your mouth shut.
Ever actually WORKED for a living, and flying for that matter? (never mind that really hard summer holiday job at McDonald's!)
A lot of the cadets did have previous lives, as the age limit for application was as high as 30 in the recent past - I for one worked in the City and I know of other cadets that are ex-nurses etc.
I'm not sure what you mean by "training shuved up your backside" as this was never part of the syllabus on my course. Perhaps you would like to tell us all exactly what you endured in order to fund and pass your exams.
