"Sorry to jump on those people who are suggesting this was brought on by the issues at STN earlier this week, but the notice was actually communicated to airlines on 27 Nov."
Despite this, the mighty and highly organised personnel department of one of Europe's largest airlines (consisting of a young bloke at Stansted called Tom !), only saw fit to tell us of these changes, via a memo issued on
10th December , with a deadline to submit applications and 5 year employment historys etc by Friday 12th.
Another classic bit of totally inept FR managment !!!
