Red face Once you're in you're in?

I'm extremely sorry to disappoint you BUT it just aint true!!!BA Engineering management are currently decimating the morale of the engineers it has left with threats of closure to all regional bases bar LHR (currently!) by handing over many, if not all routes to CitiExpress. And also continued shift changes. People are been forced to COMMUTE between MAN and LHR and also LGW and LHR.Does this sound like a good company? It is a case of 3 weeks wages for every year worked for 'voluntary severance' (yes it is STILL ongoing) or the government minimum of 1 week per each year worked if you will not agree to LHR or voluntary severance.Which is of course 'REDUNDANCY'...The company is an excellent one to work for if you are cabin or aircrew.Engineering on the other hand appear to be little more than 'whipping' boys to reduce the airlines cost base...My apologies once again if i have ruined your image of the engineering side of the company but the truth needs to be told...Incidentaly PEP or Professional Engineering Program-these guys and gals have spent MONTHS stocktaking in LHR stores.Training??I'll leave you to decide.........
