Great news that EDI-BRU is being kept on, perhaps it could even grow from an Embraer route to a Fokker, or even a 737?
We can only speculate though, as today's TV news said that British European are going to operate it 3 times a day.
I think the other new BRU route we've applied for is from LBA, but I could be wrong there...
As we have cut GLA-MAN to only 3 rotations a day, perhaps we could find a way to fit at least 1 GLA-BRU in there?
Hopefully this is only the start, and all the 109, not to mention the 15 or so bmir pilots, will find themselves with a lot less time on their hands than they expected.

Seniority list dated 30 Apr 01 shows 7 new joiners at the end of Mar 01.
Seniority list dated 04 Oct 01 (see BM_Balpa webgroup under "Files") shows same 7 pilots' joining dates changed to much earlier dates.
Seems to me these joining dates were only considered when it came to making redundancies, then changed to suit. I thought that list was part of our AFS?
Adios Amigos. May see you in the dole queue.null

Stellina,
I've nothing to hide (well in aviation!), but this thread is going around in circles.
Don't get me wrong I fully understand some of the sentiment on this topic, but lets not forget that the seven should not be villified for something that is not of their making. Employment law will prevail.
Now one of our number has completely lost the plot and started making wild accusations (I'll let you guess who that is
)
It's all got extremely whiffy.

A lot of talk of one single seniority list the point of which i assuem would be to allow BMI drivers to shoot across into an EMB145. Which of course will work very nicely for some of the 109. But.. how would mainline guys feel if some of the senior BMIR captains would then be eligible for a command on say an a321. Remember if you want a single seniority list it will become a 2 way street. Funny how a common seniority list wasnt a big issue when BMIR just flew saab340's.. funny that .. U cant have your cake and eat it..
Remember we may all wear the same uniform, but BMIR have a totally different salary and benefits structure.

Wooof,
If you are refering to the statements I made regarding incompetence and economy with the truth, I and others, can assure you that they are neither wild nor accusations. I can back them up with hard evidence. If you email me I will copy the evidence to you and give you the opportunity to reconsider your statment.
