Gb Airways - Ba Takeover????

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!

I know guys you have all heard this one before time and time again.. but is there now more truth than rumour??

1.Those little chapies and chapesses who are sidelined into working in the office ( for various reasons ) know something is going down.

2. The guys at Abela now taken over by Skychef are now under the impression that GB Airways will now be terminating their contract. The reason being BA are not happy with a German Company supplying the National Carrier ( Do BA really have that much clout over us?)

3. Following the instroduction of back catering only one outstation i.e Gibralter contiued to supply us with catering ( jobs for the boys one thought, lets face it our chaiman would not want to upset the locals!!) Well rumour has it that the catering unit at Gibralter will now close, is this start???? disposing of something now in preparation.... lets face it BA are not going to be so patriotic to the Gibraltarians ploughing cash into a catering outstation.

4, Following the changes in the Duty Free product our selection is now identical to that of BA shorthaul... again are we streamlining in preparation???

5, The nice guys and dolls over at Jubilee House and Heathrow are gossip gossip gossip and all under the impression that we are all just awaiting an announcement with regards to the situation.

So are we at GB going to be the last to know????

Lets face it guys, if it happens we all now that BA are now short of cabin crew a figure going into hundreds its alleged so us crew should be alright jack!!

However I am sure there will be a lot of middle management and upper management who will no longer be required!! Could be the blessing we have all been waiting for!! And the best thing that could come of it.... the oh so friendly lady in staff travel would be replaced by a machine thats takes ya money spits outs ya ticket and doesnt give you attitude!!

Get typing people we need to know including you BA people!!

Enough now as its 5am!! do I have i life ?? Dont be silly GB run my life.
