Desertia
I joined BA thinking it was for life (or until I decided to leave), because that was what BA promoted and stood for. When I was recruited I was one of the many "just for a year". Guess what many many years later i am still here.
I actually love the job. And the flexibility this job has given me has ensured that my husband and I ( him through bidding, me through Part time, leave etc),have been able to bring up our children, without outside help. If it goes the BA route than all stability will be lost through flexi rosters.
