8 "subs" on Saturday to the usual suspects as listed by controlller.
Not sure about trainee quality being an issue, but it wouldn't help. My North Terminal moles tell me it's terms and Conditions e.g. poor roster stability, poor pay, etc leading to BA not retaining the people it managed to train. Then again I'm sure somebody somewhere did a cost/benefit analysis of all this when the "new" contracts were put in place and considered it worthwhile - bet they've already moved on before their mistakes became obvious
Oh, and the increasing incidence of cancelled BA flights has even made the French news...though I thought the French were used to cancelled flights
