My wife who is cabin crew with BA informs me that there are now trials to reduce the crew complement on the 744 down to four in WT.
Looks like BA's ambition of doing away with the Psr grade is coming to fruition. All those senior Pursers who thought they could hide in the galleys in the twilight years of their careers marking up SPML's, are going to be very upset now being stuck out on a trolley. Many of whom did not support the strike for fear of losing their Staff Travel. You live and learn; they should have supported their union.
Still there seems to be plenty of Pursers volunteering to work down at the moment. You have to be careful what you wish for these days.
What goes around, comes around
