Guys you all sound a bit surprised by this development,but if you've been in the regions for more than 5 mins you could see this has been on the cards for a long time.
Why do you think so much work has been franchised out in the past!All part of good old uncle Bob's plan for a virtual BA.Why pay me more money with better terms & conditions than somebody at BRAL ,the outfit is run by accountants thats all they see.Not larger more comfortable aircraft operated to the best of BA's high standards with excelent cabin service and the best engineering available.Nope lets fly around in ATP's that specialise in wheels up landings!cos they are cheaper who cares what people think.
Ok so i'm anoyed that they hatchet has finally fallen on real BA in manchester but good luck to the BACE guys enjoy being shaftedc time and again by Mr. Evans and crew , hope you can get on the seniority list and i'll see on the 777!!!!!
