Latest situation..... seems to be that any BA Engineer at LGW (who has had the misfortune of being forcibily re-located to LHR) if he turns up Gatwick, he gets sent home on "Gardening Leave" on full pay and conditions.

A similar situation exists at Manchester where some four months after closing down the relatively new hangar. there are about 40 Engineers who are tending their Roses !

Meanwhile, because of the lack of Engineers many BA and third party A/C are not getting their overnight checks carried out., which obviously impacts on the following days flying programme, with delays and cancellations.

The BA Engineering (Mis)management has got an awful lot to answer for ..................
