GB Franchise
i've heard this franchise rumour a few times too.... but not sure of its source.
One thing is for sure, things are definately changing since Mr H took over.
The BA engineering contract has gone and all our engineering is now with Virgin. The ground handling is currently very poor and being looked at. Mr H met with WW very recently to talk about this one.
We are taking on lots more pilots (12 courses are on gails board for the rest of this year, 10 cadets are going to Jerez this year and for the next 3, and a further 12-14 are being taken through the Flight advert) And we are only picking up one extra airframe next year.... i know we've been slightly undercrewed this summer but this not by this many f/o's.....
Somethings going on - maybe the franchise will go, maybe we'll retrench back to Gib and take advantage of the new mainland spain routes, maybe we'll be absorbed in BA, maybe we'll franchise with someone else?
Who knows? Interesting times ahead though
