Have any City Flyer pilots got any comment on life with BA. I'm with BRAL, and we seem to be being drowned in new ways of doing everything, mostly ill-conceived at short notice. (This can be seen by the fact that procedures change and change again on what seems nearly a weekly basis ie lock the door, keep it open, no, keep it shut, no it's optional, and now back to locking it again. The original operational instruction on how to take a pee had to be seen to be believed)
From being, (in percentage profit terms) the most profitable operator in the UK last year, we are now apparently heading for a huge loss. We have joined BA
More than that, now we are supporting BA's and BAR's huge losses, and yet we seem to be spending more more and yet more again on new layers of management that we didn't seem to need in the good old (profitable) days. We have been told we should be proud to be part of a world class operation (hysterical laughter). For the first time ever, we now have to suffer a pay freeze. I don't mind that so much on its own, but to have it imposed because we are now part of the worlds most arrogant airline, losing money as it does is a bit hard to take.
So, how are you all in CityFlyer being a bit further down the road than us - oh an nearly forgot, we don't even get onto the BA seniority list; although we are apparently going to be getting loads of BA cadets to come and work with us - probably on more than our training captains, lol
