Just back from operating as VCC today supporting a famil flight for the latest batch of ground staff volunteers. Once again, there was a brilliant atmosphere on board with the crew all very keen and raring to go.
There is one of these every week at the moment with around 40 new volunteers getting their wings on completion of their 21-day course.
They are also doing their 747-400 training later in the week.
As BASSA squabble internally with Unite, BA continues to develop an even bigger contingency plan. Courses are planned all the way through May and beyond. Expect over 90% of passengers to be able to travel during any future industrial action.
