So to summarise rumours/hard news for this week:
The good news for many reading this is the company wants to recruit several hundred more DEPs in 2019 (though that’s apparently a lot more than “Finance” are keen on.).
There are some significant “howevers” that potential joiners need to be aware of when deciding whether BA continues to be a sensible/workable option:
1. The company are really going to go after what is left of Bidline rules, especially the trip construction/rest parameters, and are very keen on reducing time off.
2. BA are (according to “traffic” elsewhere last night) really trying to screw down on travelling to work pre-report...A notice on this with company approved timings to be issued shortly.
3. Oh yes, the pay claim....
