Ba boi.
[/quote]personally, i am of the belief that all the redeployed regional ground staff who take up these temp postions at WW LHR will be offered permanent positions on this same fleet at the end of their contract - and quite rightly so.
most of them have years and years worth of service under their belt and deserve to be looked after.[/quote]
Unfortunately that is incorrect. There are agreements in place between the unions and BA that there can be no permanent recruitment into LHR WW. That is why the company is using the Temp-loophole. When the temps contracts are finished they are finished and if the company need people at LGW or at LHR EF it will then decide to offer whatever it see fits but they will not stay on LHR WW.
At the end of the day a temporary position is a temporary position and no one should think or expect to be kept on.
After what happened down at LGW with the last batch of temps that transfered onto SFG I think they will be hard pushed to go down that road again.
At the end of the day BA will do what BA wants to do but it can only do that if it adheres to the union agreements.
Anyone going for Temp contracts enjoy every minute of it you get a chance at something most in the industry cannot but go into it with open eyes. It is 11 months TEMP. Thats it, nothing more nothing less. If you are offered a position afterwards great if not you know what you signed up for.
