Of course one of the reasons that the reductions have come in under budget is the policy of mismanagement to mess people around so that they get so fed - up that they leave without any pay off.

At the moment Engineers are being forcibly transferred from LGW to LHR - it seems that mismanagers are deliberatly targetting staff who live close to LGW for whatever reason (ie they use public transport, cycle or walk to work, don't have access to a car, etc. etc.)

One guy was posted to LHR who couldn't drive - managers response on being asked how to get there each day - 'buy a moped' (50 miles each way around the M25?)

Another guy who has a medical problem and cannot go too long without visiting the loo was supplied with a list of public toilets and petrol stations that were along his route to LHR.

It shows how overmanned BA are in managers if they have the time to compile a list of public conveniances!

On a slightly different tack - it appears that BA mismanagers are trying to identify staff who post on the engineers web site (ww.airmech.co.uk) with a view to taking disciplinary action against them for anything they write. I have also heard that BA's lawyers may also be getting involved - so ensure that your identities are secure in case the mismanagement try anything on this site.
