Bullseye, spot on!

Google this: 'Case Nos. 2401203/2016 McFarlane Cole' and see how they go about the matrix process.........

I am not actually referring to your post. More to the continual messaging being sent out by Babcock to its own staff, Pilots and Engineers. The statements and continual job threats have generally been inaccurate and poor.

"Could this then disadvantage the ex-BHL pilots in some way??" - No, it couldn't!! You would have to establish a fundamentally level playing field for equally qualified and experienced staff.

"How do you know what advice was given to Babcock management by their lawyers?" - I don't. But I did take the opportunity to read up on the law, and that seemed fairly clear, so it seemed likely that lawyers had also read the same pamphlet. Considering all the 'fact' being posted here on every subject from Covid to TUPE, I assumed that everyone was similarly qualified?


Anyway, I'm not trying to antagonise. But the general messaging seems designed to be negative and reduce morale across all working groups and the industry. Lets not keep adding fuel to these dying embers with clearly unsupported opinion that TUPE doesn't apply, and even if it does, one group or another will be disadvantaged.

The one where it is concluded

Yes, and also this to which should perhaps be added 'and when'.

I make no aspersions of course, its all speculation and rumor......I like the job I do.
