Well it seems to be one story against another here at BRS. The impression I have been given is that Servisair has released all the info accross about who is being TUPEd accross to Menzies.

But of course, Menzies says otherwise.

So we probably won't know anything for certain untill the 20th January, the day before the transfer.

And Antonovman, I don't know why Menzies are saying that? They already know how many despatchers/turn-around co-ordinators are being TUPEd accross from Servisair, and I have been told to contact Menzies this week as that may be a position i to am interested in.

Overall I get the feeling that Menzies don't really know exactly what is happening. It sounds to me 6 of one and half a dozen of another. So, even though it is not long left, time will tell.

But really as ive been saying, sit tight and wait to see exactly what happens with regards to all companies and parties involved.

So I think personally, to those who have applied to Menzies, sit tight. There is a lot that is having to be done behind the scenes and if anyone hasn't heard anything back, I am sure it is not intentional.

As far as pay is concerned, it is all basic. No shift allowance, no sick pay and no overtime rate. Hours are TBC but it will be a 6 on, 3 off pattern, 3 earlies 3 lates. But their terms of contract are basic. So a flat rate that may be say £8 ph but that would be it. Overtime is at the basic rate and thats it.

So not trying to put people off, but this is what Menzies have told us if we were to transfer onto one of their contracts.

BRS Flyer, does that mean the control centre will allocate stands? Or down to Ops aka ASU? Cause how are the airport authority themselves going to know where to place each aircraft? Like the WOWs are a headache and need to be parked next to eachother because of the tansfer and transit pax
