It's not just Zoom and XL staff losing their employment.
BA held meetings yesterday outlining that 1400 senior management staff have a small window in which to accept a redundancy package that will see them unemployed on the 30th December. If not taken then a reduced package will have to be accepted. Don’t be smug because they are senior management it always starts at that level then cascades down. Ba is losing £2.9 million per day at this time and it’s not the winter schedules yet. So, what about all those other airlines, they don’t have to go into administration for staff to face unemployment.
Just passed ATPL exams and now decided to start moduler CPL/IR flying mid/late 2009 unless things change for the better. And don’t forget the flying schools will soon be seeing a reduction in students so you may find some good deals next year but be careful they are not about to go bust.... remember SFT
