I can understand this happening at smaller stations like someone said earlier for stations who don't produce that many loadsheets, such as CWL, I under stand that CWL have lost the contract for Air Wales and BMI Baby, I checked out CWL DF in codeco yesterday, and if you were to take out AW & WW your left with a DF of 4 flts thats why it's happening in CWL and also can understand HUY & MME doing it too, but John Mullin one of the northern regional managers which cover LBA,LPL,MME does not know anything about this happening at these stations under him, the job oppurtunities that are up regarding CLC at MAN is just for MAN and maybe to do L/sheets for CWL or the other smaller stations, but we have too many flts at LBA and so do LPL for other stations to be doing our work coz like nibor said if they're doing it for cost cutting reasons then they're cutting their nose off to spite they're face coz your still gonna need a load controller to answer phones, use the ground to air radio, use the ground handling system, and to send the MVT/LDM msgs, and phone MAN every to pissing minutes,
No I think LBA & LPL are safe for quite some time yet, but if it happens I'll be on here again no doubt slating the blasted thing when we are all in a Dole que, but I think we are safe.
CHEERS!!!!
P.s my operations manager at LBA came into the office yesterday to ask us who we would send on the Load control course which is happening biginning of May now if LBA are gonna send 2 people on that course then that tells you that LBA are safe, I'm sorry for you guys in CWL and we'll all be in the same boat if it happens to us all, but good luck to all at this time.
