Email sent to groundstaff yesterday... Preparing for 100% schedule
Over the last strike period, colleagues from across the airline came forward to back British Airways. Without their sterling effort, it would not have been possible to keep our customers flying. You have continually gone over and above, truly demonstrating fantastic teamwork and a sprit that makes this airline truly special.
Unfortunately, we continue to face uncertainty, and possible disruption throughout the summer. Unite has already expressed its intention to ballot for further action - we have to be ready. During the next phase of industrial action, it is our intention to fly 100 per cent of our longhaul operations. This is our commitment to our customers, shareholders, investors and colleagues. We cannot and will not let them down. We can only do this with your help.
To ensure we keep this promise, we need more colleagues to train as volunteer cabin crew. Many colleagues have come forward already, but if you have not as yet expressed an interest in being trained as volunteer cabin crew and would like to do so, please register on the Backing BA pages on the intranet.
We are currently running training courses, which are begining in the next few weeks.
Let do all we can to keep our customer promise - thank you for your continued support
