This has opened up opportunities for engineering professionals to join British Airways as Licensed Aircraft Engineers (LAE) to lead teams delivering aircraft inspections, repair, overhaul and modification.'
I take it that the maintenance centre at Gatwick will now continue, especially in light of further BA expansion at Gatwick following the recent purchase of the Monarch slots.
As has been said, LGW and all UK line stations have been given a reprieve. There is also talk of a minor re-structuring of Licensed Engineer's pay grades to attract LAEs to the company. All dependent on the Pension issue being sorted first of course, I imagine.
