ba training
hello
just to advise as from day 1 of the training course you are marked on your apperance, therefore they do like you to weat like a suit etc for the first day then smart business wear ie shirt tie. skirt/trousers and blouse. They do relax it alot for sep/avmed and the trainers will advise you of this as you go along. but beware they can mark you down on lots of things and apperance and operate a point system at ba. if you fail a exam or have performance issues or are late you eanr what they call a point and you are allowed a max of 6 points then its good bye ba, and belive me they do get rid of people like this,
with regards totraining it's on the trainers board that a few courses are penciled in for lgw single fleet in dec and going into jan, however things could change this week , as some of you will be aware that ba have got temp crew on lhr longhaul and alot of them are about to come to the end of the contracts, it has been voiced to ba management by the union and crew that it is pointless loosing these crew when infact they could be kept on if new courses are going to start. the chairperson of the union has met the head of cabin crew and had a meeting with him with regards to this and they are now looking to give the temp crew priority over ANYONE ELSE IN THE HOLD POOL and put the temp crew into a hold pool of themselves who are due to finish soon and will cherry pick who they want and then offer them a position on a permant basis at lgw fleet. Also they have seemed to agree that maybe any courses from now on will only be offered for gatwick fleet only even the people who were offered lhr euro fleet as lgw is now part of a internal agreement called the nsp which allows current crew to transfer to lhr ef and ww and keep there rank, ( alothough alot of ex dan air , eog and cityflyer crew have been at lgw years they will only transfer with a max of 2 years seniority so will still be very junior at lhr, with hardly anyone from lgw going in a a purser to either ww or ef as there are alot more senior people on these fleets already waiting to transfer so lgw crew will be at the bottom of the list) therefore if they now only recruit from now on for lgw they can transfer the crew who have been waiting many years to go to heathrow in the avalible gaps and therefore instead of new staff put the current lgw staff there and all new entrants into lgw.
anyway i hope this helps this has also been put on various company websites to
so i hope they call some of you soon, good luck but from what they have said now in the last few days there may be a long wait, also with the reduction of flights next year now from lgw and also the loss of the atl and tls routes to lhr
happy flying
