Sick, sorry to tell you this but I was in Cityflyer when BA was taking us over and merging us into mainline. TUPE doesn't give you the right to merged seniority (a bunch of CFE pilots set up a legal slush fund and took advice). Also, the BACC were adamant that seniority would not be (and subsequently wasn't) merged. The best outcome you could hope for is a "Grandfather Right" form of protection for existing commands.

Thanks for that Link.
on TUPE
It shows clearly that those regulations do not apply if the work was taken away. That is,unfortunately you would be out in the cold.
As I said before you only have to look at the history of the way BA has dealt with partners and franchises.
It has been a wild merry go round of policy changes.
BA has one consistant policy though......
Its called THE GRAND OLD DUKE OF YORK APPROACH.
UP THE HILL DOWN THE HILL and then do it all over again.
Even in BA its only safe to work at Fortress Heathrow. I once heard a senior manager say that is our honey pot!
Because it is so large and dominant on major routes it can get away with it.
But dont think they wouldnt dump GSS if they had a mind to.
Same goes for BACX after all they have bought it fiddled with it and dumped half of it already, and its still going on. IOM, Guernsey, Western Isles, Wales, Southwest of England. all within 6 months, whats next ?
Look at the facts. It was not a threat, just history!

Dear Sick
I think even BA would be clever enough to argue that they are the customer and they can take the work anywhere they want.
However its just speculation, what they might do.
All I know is that Rod likes all the business in house, if posssible.
He has said that to staff.
That was why AML died.
I do think though, that he is undecided on BACX ,GSS, and he is waiting to see on LGW.
His eye currently must be on the main game...............
The Pension Hole and this year's pay rise, if he messes up on that, ALL BETS ARE OFF.
