That part is most certainly untrue, although I imagine that BMI may have flown some additional Lufthansa services.
For those who don't know, Lufthansa own 80% of BMI and BMI already fly Lufthansa services from LHR on their behalf.
Hello BA Pilot,
first of all please excuse my ignorance! What I said was a mistake - I had just read about "BALPA" pilots flying those routes and stupidly assumed they would only be from British Airways (and sorry about that too, I've been really tired the past few days - please, no offence!).
So let me correct what I said wrongly before: BMI pilots (BALPA union) flew Lufthansa routes. However, as far as I've read, they could not do anything about it and were legally forced to fly as strikebreakers!
So again, sorry BA Pilot and sorry to all British Airways pilots - I did not mean to offend you! Thanks for supporting the Lufthansa pilots and I hope your cabin crew can also reach their goals soon (I've read they have voted in favor of a strike as well!)!
Thanks, please no hard feelings and all the best!
Jakob
