- I worked for Aviance in 2007 when they took B.A in the regions. Noboby was ready (nor did we anticipate) what was in store. After 3 months it stabilised and a year or 2 into it everything was actually great. All was well until Servisair arrived and took out most of the senior staff and in my opinion made a mess of it in 3 months. They too then stabilised it until B.A went to Menzies in June 2012. They run it with less than a skeleton staff (or are they always unlucky with sickness etc esp at the weekends ? ?). I've heard senior B.A people say that they are both a) - Sick and tired of Menzies and b) - They've never had it better. One thing's for sure. Most of our airlines are just like rate-tarts in the business world. They will simply go for the cheapest option and then SHOUT for the whole time the contract is in whoevers hands. - As I said, - a once great workplace turned to **** in most airports of the U.k.
