I've been following this topic for a while but never thought to join Pprune until now.
I am an ex 11 month temp. I'm actually very sad over the whole mixed fleet even though after wanting to join BA for a long long time a permanent position is now on the cards.
This new mixed fleet is going to be charter! its going to attract young crew, no disrespect to anyone but its going to be young folk that I used to fly with in my charter days, don't get me wrong. I was that person once, discussions of the room party on the flight, gossip from downroute antics. BA is not like that, BA is what you aim for after those days and thats exactly what I love about it.
This new fleet and new intake of young crew is going to ruin everything about BA.
All very sad, and I agree its a shame BASSA didn't negotiate NF not happening.
