Yes, I heard the same rumour today about 'our' dashes going to LC.

What I'd like to know is the name of the RJ operation. Connect? BA red? BEA?

When I commented about the lack of BA ground staff, it was simply to draw attention to the fact. NOT to comment on the desirability (or otherwise) of the action.

I'm sure it will save BA a bunch of money. The point is that over a thousand BA employees will be chopped and there's been practically FA in the papers about it.

Having said that, some are way overpaid and highly underworked/underinterested.

Gonna be a big Flybe op at GLA if this is correct. I think the folk who stay on at EDI for the RJ may come to wish they'd gone to Flybe- but who really knows?
