BA CEO states at least 375 to go
WW stated in the Daily Mail (amongst others) on Saturday that he would cull at least that figure from ramp staff, this among the target of reducing a further 6000. Stating that BA will overhaul many of its 'custom and practice'. Some of us have been saying this for years pointing out the 'holiday camp' attitude from many of the staff. At the end of the article it then states that job loses will only come from natural wastage. WW has a huge task ahead of him and if he is to waste this amount of staff it can surely only be achieved via outsourcing, may be the complete outing of the ramp might be the way forward. This however must be balanced against capital sanction for the recruitment of 300 + new ramp agents over the next 24 months. Mixed messages again then, no change there. Watch out BACX ?
