[BA expects alot from it's staff , but sometimes the staff expect a heck of alot back.(i.e.You can't have hundreds of staff sitting around at LGW doing nothing!,Much as some will think it's their god-given right .)]

I think you should credit engineers with a bit more intelligence. Nobody expects a free ride. All except that some changes are inevitable. What they want is for engineering management to compulsory move people only as (truly) a last resort and then with suitable compensation for those affected.

Not to be threatened, intimidated and bullied in a manner than I am sure BALPA members would not have to endure. All this with complete disregard to human factors. If an engineer makes a mistake on his 7th day of an 04:30 start and an 40 mile drive to work do you think the company will back him up?
