A lot of people ARE leaving, probably not as many as exaggerated on here. However, it is probably what our so-called management want. Redundancy of a kind was offered, but it was more the perception that from Fleet Management upwards, the Company
1. genuinely does not give a damn about the people who work for it.
2. is totally inept at the job of Company and people management, and therefore losing and wasting very significant sums of money.
3. is determined never to allow any meaningful transition from BACX to BA.
4. actually genuinely does not care if the Company goes under. Even our BA secondees are returning to mainline rather than risk being part of the so-called future.
'Tis true there are some great people, but there are so many in management and senior admin positions that life is pretty grim. The roster instability is quite awful, the main reason for staying regional (home most nights and a relistic working programme compensating for the lower money) has gone. On the Emb, we are now working like, er, dunno if one can say that anymore.....but BLOODY hard.
Company may change, but our detested chief of Flight Ops is perceived as having f#cked up so badly that BA don't want him back. All of this means people will leave, and continue to leave for better jobs, but not at any cost. If you need a job, then it's ok, but only as a stepping stone. If you have a choice, nearly any other operator inthe UK is better, certainly any other jet operator.
Your call.
