Railgun

I have not even had a 1-2-1 yet. They keep threatening with imposing them but have not done anything yet.

Railgun

MAN staff date for TUPE is 11th July.

Having been in Edinburgh several times now under the new flybe I can only say what an improvement there is in the ground handling now. I accept that BA ground handling felt they were understaffed/resourced and overworked and I feel sorry for those whose jobs have been put in danger, but from a customer point of view we are now receiving a much better overall level of service.

Sorry to have to say this because I do feel extremely sorry for the individuals involved BUT I don't fear going to EDI anymore now that we are not handled by BA.

However, coming back to BHX if you are informed Swissport are involved is a very traumatic experience ! Peanuts monkeys say no more - actually that's not fair. Peanuts - people who don't give a toss cos they are not paid enough to ! Pax at BHX will be voting with their feet if this continues.

Just checked my payslip and theres no retention pay or profit share bonus in my pay packet.

Talk about about kicking us when we are down, there was a lot of people looking forward to that extra money and there will be an uproar in BHX now it hasnt been paid!!

stupot7783

Just been informed there was an admin error in BHX and our first part of the retention pay will be going into our banks on Mon with the profit share loyalty bonus the following week, then the next part of the retention pay coming at the end of May.

But I will believe it when I see it!!

Now I am sure you are not serious but......... no job is worth that. We all make mistakes in life and that would be your biggest - also you wouldn't be able to change your mind.

Take the TUPE and if you don't like the new company it will give you a bit of time to explore your options in another job.

Life is good, not a rehearsal - your a long time dead.

I know thanks for the support, but I guess drink got the better of me last night seems thats happening alot at the moment,
As for TUPE think I will get shafted from aviance in no time, severance isn't worth a wan...k, so I guess it try to redeploy some where????
Still head banging mind you

Now is the time for a steady head - I like my beer too but there is a time &...... etc. It is not now. You have to make your own rational decisions based on the best info you have at the time. Rational and beer don't mix. Aviance may well shaft you - then again you might get a pleasant suprise. If you don't give it a shot you will never know.
I have transferred to the new Flybe - its not all we had but it is not that bad either. There is a refreshing desire to get things done in a practical manner and improve things when needed. The people are alll very nice.

I say - give the tupe a go! If you change your mind then look out for something else but don't leave yourself unemployed. It is easier to get a job from a job.

Once you have made your decision life will appear a lot better - then you can have a beer!

Unsurity is not pleasant for anybody - you are not on your own

You will be suprised how pleasant life can be outside of BA

Good luck from someone who has suffered it several times before.

Thanks for the support bigmustard will have to chill out a little....

just found out BA wanted to sign with aviance today before the consultation period has finished, BA were told unions are going to the NSP's to advise that BA are giving work away while they still have staff employed at the respected stations and the sh*t hit the fan, all enhanced serverance offers were withdrawn, unions talking at the BATUC meeting being held today with senior BA managment...lets see what happens????

things must be bad Bev Bennett was in MAN yesterday trying to tell everybody that whislt your doing a great job putting a case forward to keep our jobs its all in vain and that the end was near, nice try love but its not over till the fat lady sings as they say

jameseyre1

Where did you hear that Jarvis?

My missus works for BA at MAN...it seems comms are not BA's strong point as the only place we can find info on what's happening is places like here?!

They were given a handout yesterday with the 3 severance options, TUPE, etc, but how can anyone be expected to decide what to do when the figures haven't been agreed with the unions?!!

Any updates welcome!

jarvis769169

James. There is a forum for serving BA staff,lots of info on there daily, I got some of my info from that the rest from my T&G rep

PM me if you want the address

Glad to see your not banging your head at the mo!!
I worked for Aviance for many years and to work for they are not a bad company, sure i had a moan every now and again, but who doesn't?
I say give them ago mate, they might even offer you something very nice if they want your experiance.......

good luck fella

jarvis769169

mansp, i'm not saying there a bad company to work for, my only concern is that they will change my pay and T&C's quite quickly due to them being better than their current staff and I might as well find employment with BA at another location so that's protected saying all that not been given the chance to speak to aviance locally so not sure what their plans for any staff going over on TUPE guess I will reserve judgement until that time meanwhile the uncertainty is driving me mad
