Wow! Thanks MikeJ - where did you here this shocking news? What's it going to be called? I can't believe it's got this far and this is the first I've heard of it!!! Will this impact mainline BA?
Some people are just a waste of bandwidth.

No it won't be BA crews, but I am pretty sure the BA mainline guys won't really mind. 
Mickjoebill - the sarcasm on this thread is purely because this is fairly old news and has been a major discussion point on here for most of this year...

Just because someone did / had not seen this piece of minor news I feel there is no need for such sarcasm. Some of you need to grow up and release that other people have a life outside of aviation?

I wouldn't call it minor news - after all Big are threatening (or have been) to bankrupt BALPA over their opposition to new hires being unable to be on the master seniority list...
