BAboy,
I have also heard....that when the NSP will come to effect ALL Ba crew will be able to transfer across bases and fleet retaining their seniority and status.
Subject to operational needs staff will be able to transfer to their preferred base by applying.
At the same time BA may decide to transfer people according to the manpower needed at different bases etc.
If this is is true I wonder how the salary contract etc. is going to be affected since LHR and LGW have different contracts. (eg. If a LHR crew get transferred to LGW will his/her contract etc. change too?
)
I understand that the transfers from LGW to LHR were done on a gentleman agreement basis, however this NSP agreement what is going to be ? another "gentlemen agreement"? Or something kind of "law binding"?
What I can't get my head around it is:
If LGW (like it was when Eurogatwick existed) was a subsidiary, different contract and conditions may apply for the same position, rank etc.
BUT if LGW will (or is?) mainline how can this be? It's a huge contradiction,
unless of course LGW is legally something different (???) and will always be than LHR.
Thanks again!!
