Crewboy are you BA crew already at LHR? if so please understand that BA Cityflyer is a subsidary of BA and the T&Cs you have in mainline are NOT the terms and conditions you will have in Cityflyer. OK you would currently nightstop in GLA,EDI,FRA and MAD london weighting is £1500 per annum routes are GLA,EDI,FRA,ZRH,MAD rumours of 2 more routes in October could be Prague and Barcelona, summer and winter charters are operated at the moment although again rumours that these may not run in the future, the Aircraft fleet is RJ 100s these are 110 seat aircraft and confirmation of two RJ 85 joining the fleet, these are 85 seat aircraft. The company has been around for a while it is effectivly whats left of BA Connect formly BA Citiexpress, so effectivly the company is a name change more than a brand new entity although the management would not have it that way even though they are in the majority, all the same faces as the previous companies mentioned!!!! If you are not BA crew at the moment do not look on cityflyer as an easy step into BA it is not! there is NO right of transfer into mainline so what you have is an operation that looks,talks,and smells like BA but is kept at arms length away from mainline!! it is the Bastard son of a one night stand with Brymon/Bral/Bar that Mainline had and now doesnt wanna pay child support for, sure it knows it has the son but it never wants to embrace it and love it and call it its own.
