I've gotten lost with the Acronyms.... What is PRP?

It's the group of the 249 most junior pilots at the company that got made redundant as part of the deal that BALPA made with BA.

I don’t think that’s strictly correct but easy to assume.

All had less than 2 years service from what I know. I would say that’s pretty junior.

That is junior. What you know isn’t correct though as per the matrix more senior folk where let go. Some with more than 8 years service.

I believe that was one or two people with a disciplinary. Most where just caught out by LIFO.

Yes I think you’re correct. Most were caught out by LIFO.

Percula

LIFO..ish.. due to the 787/350 and former BACF immunity, the top end of the 249 made redundant were 350+ places off the bottom of the MSL.
Still junior, but approaching PP3 vs pilots who were only weeks (or days) in the company when Covid hit, and yet to touch a BA aircraft but kept their jobs.

BACF were certainly not immune. BACF contracts are with BA and therefore their service counted towards LIFO.

Imagine the uproar if BACF DOJ was suddenly used for bidding purposes.
At the end of the day there were approximately 70-80 pilots that got shafted out of seniority order.
In my eyes pilots with c. 2 years flying for BA mainline should not have lost their job ahead of those who may have only been in weeks or months, regardless of fleet or who they worked for previously. That’s exactly what LIFO was for.

There is no point imagining something that isn’t happening. Re the bidding process.
Although you may not like to think of the BACF Pilots as part of BA, their contracts say otherwise.
Legally their service had to count.
I would question the number being as high as 70-80.
There may well be that many BACF Pilots at mainline, but most of them would have already served more than 2 years. And therefore regardless of their city flyer service wouldn’t have been up for redundancy.

legally their service counts for statutory purposes when calculating a redundancy payment.
But it has no legal standing when determining a redundancy matrix. The company and the union can agree to put whatever they like in there provided it is non discriminatory, as we saw with Virgin when LIFO went out the window.
As LIFO doesn’t legally need to be part of the redundancy matrix, it can’t be legally required to consider DOJ at a subsidiary.
We have LIFO in the MOA to protect us but rely on Balpa to uphold that, which for the majority they did but a small number got very unlucky.

I believe ther were 20-30 former BACF pilots ‘below the line’ plus approx 50 787/350, hence the 70-80 made CR out of order.

We have LIFO in the MOA which states “ total service with an employer shall be taken into consideration” nowhere does it say the MSL is to be used.

And if you’re going to use 787/350 figures then it’s not just Cityflyer people who were saved, they wouldn’t even make up the majority in that group.

Again the MOA mentions retaining employment “in those showing high efficiency”.

Many many people were unlucky in all this, I just hope some sort of normality is in our future.

My understanding from the numerous emails sent out by the union and company was that the 350/787 folk saved did not push the line up. This was explicitly explained so many times it was boring. They were saved at no cost. They were saved at companies request, not the union's. The only issue is it makes is those of us that were screwed a little bitter that junior people kept their jobs. Either x lose their job or x+787/350 lose their jobs. The line didn't rise by 40, 50 or any number to save the 350/78 pilots. It might make you sleep better at night to have them sacked too, but it is a fundamentally worse solution.
350/78 talk just muddies the water IMO. All it did was reduce the number of redundancies (a good thing).
BACF did increase the position of the line, but is legally backed so no arguments there, just the way it is and sadly overlooked by all, initially.

Mainly being devils advocate, a lot of stuff has happened I don't agree with. Covid is (say it together) unprecedented.

I said both in my first post on the matter, to quote - “due to the 787/350 and former BACF immunity”

It was simply a reply to someone who had said LIFO was used to point out yes, to an extent, but not completely.

Pips are squeaking.. British Airways to defer £450m of pension contributions

I think if I was in NAPS I would be seriously thinking about taking my money out.

I think many people are in the process of doing so....or at least leaving just enough not to get penalized when/if NAPS goes into the PPF.

Can NAPS go into the PPF if BA is still trading?

Yes........if it’s part of an RAA....... that’s what happened at Monarch in 2014.
