Yeah but the toal breakdown of job losses is 8800 opertaional, 4200 head office and support. Not quite addressing the staff/aircraft ratio, but a step in the right direction. The decision to transfer the RJ100s to MAN is an unwelcome if not unexpected one, particularly as a recent business study concluded it was much more cost effective to keep the 737s there. We'll also now be paying for a shiny terminal at BHX with 16 jetties, even though we won't have a single aircraft in the regions that will fit on them. But thats BA management for you.
