BACE are a cheap option for BA, crew costs are probably half that of mainline BA, our aircraft are a lot more efficient on the routes allocated to us by BA. So all that together, equates to profit instead of loss on routes out of Manchester and Brum. I for one am not boasting about being cheap,I would like to enjoy an increase in pay and better conditions to go with the huge increase in workload I am now expected to put up with.But that isn`t going to happen,not as long as I stay with this company. The future that I thought I had planned out with this company has gone.It has been replaced by a vague non descript set of ideals handed out by a management team who operate behind the fastest set of smoking mirrors I have ever seen.No one will give a straight answer to a straight question,everything is subject to change.
As far as I can see only basic laws of economics will improve our lot (and I mean all of us within the BA group ),Supply and Demand. As soon as confidence grows within the airlines and recruitment starts in earnest,then will our lot get better.Until then lets all bend over and receive in the best tradition of exploitation.
