We live in worrying times. For the first time i am worried that i will lose my job by means of furlough. I work for British Airways and the situation is potentially a lot worse that Sept 11th. The company are meeting with the trade unions next week to present their financial business plan for the next year. I fully expect sweeping cuts to be made to the flying programme with nothing ruled out - including standing entire fleets down and cutting salaries and possibly massive furloughs.
I am very worried and i have 10 years seniority. There is n way i would be spunking 70k on airline training for a couple of years yet!
