THE UNIONS RUN BA?
MY A**E!
When the RJ100s come to MAN the remaining 40 engineers, (that is the ones left over after the hangar closure) will be looking for work elsewhere as the RJ work will be going to Manx/BRAL engineering.
Effectively a fleet change with the work farmed out to the lowest bidder.
BA Licensed Engineer: average salary, £35000 + good pension/staff travel etc.
BA CitiExpress Engineer: average salary, £27000, no pension scheme worth a damn, diluted staff travel.
So don't tell me that the unions run BA!!!
