Diesel I hope I don't see you in the bar buying me a drink, I would rather it the other way round! I would love to be wrong on this.
Human factor makes the point on the fact that the company cicumvented scope by chooseing to use a smaller type i.e the 146 at BHX and Man. Surely as they were making a profit with the 737 why not leave the status quo? The answer surely is in a B class system using City express rather than leaving things alone.

There is no point in banging your fists on the table demanding that all pilots in BA-coloured aircraft be flown by your mates when the very company itself is under threat from outside competition. This is simply a case of feathering your own nest while the tree is being chopped down!

Guess we'll just have to see how it goes. Meet you at the bar anyway....

Sorry can't remotely agree with you. All in BA are only too aware of the reality of the world around us. Contracting out its work as is happening through the franchises is a way for BA management to avoid dealing with the reality of its cost base. Pilots that feel they have already made great strides to be competitive see their future being undermined by a company management happy to run away from the results of previous decisions and re-invent BA elsewhere. Why should I let that happen? BA has all the advantages a commercial company could want and has grown fat over the years to an extent that threatens its survival. The pilots see SCOPE as a means of forcing a reality check on those that run the show. I would ask again whether it is so unreasonable to argue that people buying BA tickets , and traveling on a BA liveried aircraft, be flown by BA employed pilots? We all now that the cost base could be dramatically lower and not by attacking th pilots..#

It'll stay hot poop as I believe scope restricts ALL BA flying at LHR and LGW to mainline crews regardless of aircraft size, with the exception of the pre-existing BACX routes on the 146.
Now tell me the one about the regions getting 737s again.

I get the impression that the company are always floating ideas and rumours amongst the troops , hoping that they wont get a hostile reaction. As long as we all stick together and BALPA donīt "wobble" or have a BACC chairman happy to sell us down the river, we should be ok.
