I'm not totally sure but I think we may be a bit closer to the start dates now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as it says only groundstaff will be affected. From a friend who is a purser at LGW, he says they are short on cabin crew and they also have the 900 hours issue meaning they need just a few more, hence the 2-3 extra courses. Although I trust what he says, BA could obviously change their mind however with less than a month to go, anyone in current employment will have handed their notice in now I'm sure. I'm not panicking over this one at all at the mo tbh but we'll just have to sit it out and wait I guess
