Fare enough.
I stand to be corrected but last I heard only 3 out of the entire lgw ww base opted to transfer to sf gatwick. You yourself is happy at lgw but have also opted to go to lhr.

Yes lgw ww had different options but they still nomiated to "go up the road" and EOG still grabbed the first chance to get some LH no matter how bad the conditions.

Don't get me wrong I'm not anti LGW I'm actually pro LGW. However the t's & c's are horendous. Ie. LGW is profitable, LGW saved money etc. etc. but Hotels are being changed to airport hotels. GVA Hotel is at the end of the runway and you might as well be lying on the tarmac trying to get some sleep. However LGW Flight crew, LHR CC and LHR Flight crew get coached into town to a nice little hotel. Why am I and all at lgw not good enough to be in the same hotel as everyone else?
Don't even get me started on the money side of things, one of the dom's tried to tell me that I'm earning the same as someone at LHR.
Please don't turn this into a mud slinging match. Everybody is fully aware of what they signed up for and where they stand with the company. I'm pinning my hopes on the fact that we'll apparently start earning more as of FEB. Here's hoping.
