Brymon's demise - Gill's rise !
Brymon has done it again!
Heard this evening that Brymon are to suspend operation of the Copenhagen and Belfast schedules from Newcastle, only weeks after employing a considerable number of new staff for the base expansion! This will be good news for Gill but must be devastating for some Brymon crews who will be regretting joining the Company.
Apparently Brymon Management shed much of their engineering capability (and treated the Engineers themselves appallingly in the process)! Other 'skimping' in all areas and selling off of spares mean't that sub-chartering costs have escalated to the extent that a spare Dash 8 is required at Bristol therefore depriving Newcastle of half of its workload!
Allegedly a/c have to be flown to Canada for major check as there is no adequate Dash 8 maintenance available in Europe!??
We are all aware of cost-savings, but the absolute incompetence, lack of cohesion and total disregard of employees both long-standing and new, by Management, defies belief! How can you knowingly employ folk, doubling the size of a base only to reduce it again in less than one month?!
I am ashamed to be employed by this company whom it seems have let some of their staff down AGAIN in a very BIG way. "Redundancy and 'natural wastage' will 'cure' the problem," according to the Bristol hierarchy!
Condolences and good luck to the boys and girls at Newcastle and here is hoping that your futures can be somehow secured.
