As an ex-employee who deals with BAC on occasion I can tell you that a certain degree of uncertainty was caused when the old HQ was sold by Air Contractors as the 'new' BAC were merely tennants, it seemed at the time that it would be an option to move to the parent company location in Oxfordshire, but as the main AOC post holders all were LGW men, it was felt that new premises would be sought and the business would stay there.
BAC Express seem happy in their 'new' home so where your information comes from i'm not quite sure. Why would they advertise for Crawley based staff if they were moving ???????
As for the 'Ops Room' I think they will be looking forward to having an extra body around to lighten the load a bit most ex collegues I talk to seem settled and looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead, as most of them have been loyal to the company for many years through different owners and in good times and bad it certainly makes a refreshing change to see stability, particularly when a fair few others on this forum seem to have a different job/employer to critisise on a monthly basis
Rome wasn't built in day, but from a customers point of view (I am a broker) I guess that BAC use their resources on Customer Service and product rather than a profanity of gadgets to make the Ops guys life a tiny bit easier !
