I disagree there are some BA cabin crew who could move onwards and upwards if they left the company.Many of our cabin crew are well qualified and not all of them want IA sadly those that can think for themselves and have an opinion are the enemy which is wrong.Please don't judge them all the same i can assure you they are not .
I'm sure that is the case, but look at it from the point of view of a recruiter. A stack of CVs on your desk, and a very quick first scan to identify those to read / study more fully. It is generally said that no more than 30 seconds is spent assessing a CV before deciding whether to bin it or look more closely.
The letters that will leap out will be "BA", and that may well be enough to consign it straight to the bin. It may not be fair, certainly not on the good CC out there, but its the way life works. Given a choice, what recruiter will take a chance on employing someone who may be a troublemaker in his company when he has other choices?
Well done BASSA, you've blighted the career prospects of an entire workforce. I doubt they care tho', as long as they still have a gravy train to ride.
