Hi All
As a crewmember @ LGW , ive been reading your postings .
On the subject of pay talks are starting shortly which will cover allowances etc .
Yeah LGW 777's work with less crew than LHR but the Gatwick Fleet has only been running 4 months and they will be doing trial flights soon too monitior service , crewing levels etc .
With ba taking extra LH aircraft their is no room at LHR for expansion unless ba drop routes or buy slots . So LGW is the likely option and with them only having 9 LH nightstops + shuttles , it would be good for LGW to have expansion even if its lesiure market. So watch this space and their is rumours additional LH aircraft will come to LGW ! So watch this space for aircraft orders as it will be announced soon for both LH and LGW Shorthaul routes .
I know some people think ba lgw is not mainline but it is and is part of ACC NSP - which is A ir Cabin Crew National Selection Panel who monitior transfers , part time and agreements for mainline crew etc .
Another rumour is that LHR will no longer take permament new entrants as recruitment will be done via LGW .
Good luck all and look forward to flying with you all if you are BA LGW !
