TorC
I suspect that the winnowing of older contract crew will occur when BA start instituting performance management across the board. It is worth noting that large parts of the airline have been operating this for some time and it is one of the features of MF. It can only be a matter of time before it is rolled out across all of IFCE. I'm sure there will be those who will wish to resist it. They'll probably be the ones with most to lose. Anyone who is at the very least pulling their weight has nothing to fear from it. The backsliders and teflon shouldered ones (and they occur in all organisations) will need to shape up or ship out.
