On the BA hangars theme, it seems that in yet another cost cutting 'brainwave' at BA someone decided the engineers had access to far too many hangars and have sold off [what was] the British Midland hangar that BA inherited when they 'absorbed BMi' and so yet another very useful hangar facility has been lost to BA. The hangar concerned was very flexible and could house one large widebody aircraft [all types apart from A380] or two/three smaller Airbus types.
It has been sold to United who have wasted no time in increasing their staff at Heathrow to take on much more work and have [allegedly] managed to poach approx 75 ex BA engineers with a better pay and conditions package.
