Good luck to all Servisair staff. Jobs should be safe through TUPE at least. But there is the uncertainty of how T&Cs may change. Too many rumours about Menzies floating about. However there is no smoke without fire.
They are cheaper with reason...costs are cut in all areas. Low cost operators may not be too worried about certain "reductions". Expansion is a good thing and fair play to any company who succeeds. However the rate of growth is too fast.
One poster has commented that the Star Alliance at LHR is going well. Yes there are new contracts. However there is a severe shortage of "experienced staff". Ops agents are being rushed through after 4 days training and no prior experience. Some of the carriers have been unhappy with service provided on the ramp. Its no hidden secret that TAP wanted to delay their Menzies move further or were even against it.
If this sounded too pessimistic, as the poster above mentions..stick together guys. Sometimes this sort of change can be positive. Either to move on to better things or perhaps just a new way of working.
