With regard to the “Fleet lottery“, what consideration has been given by BALPA to the joint 777/787 type ratings to protect the vulnerability of a more senior 777 F/O to CR over a junior 787 F/O?
With regard to the Airbus CCQ A320-A350 approval given on September 17 th 2014 by EASA after training trials what consideration has been given by BALPA to converting A320 pilots below the cut off line but above A350 pilots below the cut off line.
The CCQ appears to be a very short and inexpensive process.

Unite finally talking with Cruz. First meeting has been held. One to one redundancy 'interviews' postponed until further notice.
Hypothetically, I wonder what would happen if Unite manage to negotiate a mere 5% pay cut with no CR, would BALPA have any comeback? I see the VR offered to some cabin crew Is already different to that offered in Flight Ops. There certainly doesn’t seem to be a one size fits all corporate policy .

above because they needed to be seen to be making redundancies in all areas of the business. Just a thought..

BA will put the line where they want.
Just like the original number of 1255(?) redundancies was a number selected for maximum scaremongering and leverage.
They will get their PERMANENT contract changes because, together, the pilots will do whatever they can to prevent CR.

I’m definitely one of those for temporary rather than permanent but the immediate problem is becoming more and more severe. COVID cases in the US are skyrocketing and that market won’t be open any time soon. Even when it is how bad are the load factors going to be? The North Atlantic is our engine for profits, without it Short Haul being operational is like putting a sticky plaster on a blast wound. Even then LHR Short Haul has 740 flights in August, roughly enough for 2 day trips for each of the entire pilot workforce. This is bad, really bad. To be honest even with the deal that buys us precious little time before the company are back with more s188s issued and/or the liquidation of the company further down the line.

Rex.......I was depressed before I read your post. Suicidal now. Maybe just add “in my opinion” when making your doom laden predictions. Or better still, keep them to yourself.

FlipFlapFlop except it’s not really a matter of opinion, is it? Yes liquidation of the company in a worst case scenario (maybe I should have written that) but everything else is fact open to very little dispute. I may have been fed duff gen in terms of the flights from Heathrow in Aug but even if Bex’s figures are correct that’s seven day trips. Still a big big problem. They’re not doom laden predictions, it’s an attempt to inject a little reality into those who think we have any leverage whatsoever in the consultation with the company (especially after the strike last year). No more no less.
