I have to take the reciprical view to EGKK.
The plan is reactive and all announcements are to support increases in passenger fares, squeezing the employees for greater productivity and generally paint a gloomy picture. Then when things turn out good after all everyone is a winner, except passengers and employees of course.
I think British Gas are trying a similar weeze. Both corporations have made huge profits and will do so in future.
Recruitment might be curtailed momentarily while they concoct the next recruitment plan but they need so many recruits next year it will soon be back to normal. Recruits are needed for 777 and 320 fleets.
IMHO.
