For what it is worth there are only a few courses for August and September as BA require as many crews on line as is possible. The delays in course dates are also complex in that BA is waiting to confirm just what routes will be moved up from LGW in October and what the level of competition is expected in April 2008. It is expected that Delta, Continental to name but two carriers will commence East / West coast America routes. Ba will have to rationalise our US routes as it is likely that there will be lots of seats at very low prices and we may well pull out of a number of our services to the US (reduce daily frequencies).
None of this should impact on any of you that have been offered employment but may well mean you may not start until next year. As some of you will deduce there are also a num ber of internal staff waiting dates (100) this in itself will take up to 7 courses (they are already on the payrole and some of them are sitting at home)and we are running at about 2 a month presently (max number 16)
