Many varied comments on here BUT for those of you who are continually bashing the ground staff - you are V wrong.
YOU CANNOT possibly comment on this unless you ARE BA frontline staff and you know what you are up against.
How would you feel if you worked for a company fulltime and they just pulled your hours out of the air ,and payed you accordingly.
They want to be able to just turn around to the staff and send them home when its quiet (so you come into work for 1 hour and get sent home) one day, and then the next keep you on for up to 16 hours.
You would never know what you are getting paid.
The style of management there is totally predatory at the moment and making life very hard for many people.
