Hello again!
Well as far as I know this time round they have organized themselves a bit better. When I joined I too had a BAA-LGW ID pass but it took them 5 weeks to get me my permanent ID (just in time for me to start flying). Also I had to have my uniform fitted during the training course.
It seems that now you get your uniform fitted before you start and also if you send your disclosure as quickly as you you can they'll be able you your ID much earlier than before.
One thing is for sure though:
Guys please get those disclosures on their was ASAP as if you don't have your permanent ID you can still use BAA buses, get in and out of hangar6 etc
BUT you won't be able to access the computer system to bid for your flights!!! You need your permanent ID for that!!
I had to wait for so long (and had to chase them as it eneded up being a mistake on behalf of BA
) that I missed the deadline for my 2nd roster and had all the c*ap that people didn't want. Wasn't an easy way to start with a new airline I can assure you!!!
Good luck everybody and again.....open your ears during the training course!!! Trainers can give you some tips that are extremely useful once you're online, even if you have years of experience behind you!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you soon
