It is a shame that the figures publised put BAL down in 5th place as it was a good summer from my recollections.And as the Captain says unfortunately the short timers at BAL ops are leaving,I know I was one of them who despite working with a winning team could notaccept the terms and conditions offer by my new german employers. obviously they were right for some people Frosty knows to whom I refer but TUI/Hapag refused to negotiate to anything near my experience level and as a result when I was offered something a bit more suitable I took it.
It is as I said a shame as Britannia were a Great company to work for and the team is now I fear so badly affected by the whole mismanagement by the new parent company that if the redundancy terms are renegotiated then I fear that there will be a mass exodus to pastures new. As I said to some of my at the time collegues there are plenty of jobs out there and some may decide to move on before the reference to Britannia on there CV comes a disadvantage to their prospects for further employment.
A great shame for a great company.
