Just to clarify everything regarding exam certificates guys...
I had my interview on Friday and I brought my certificates with me.... However when I asked if they wanted them for photocopies, they said "NO" and I wasn't asked during my 2-1-interview either... If they wanted you to have it, they would have put it in the email along with the other things you have to bring, but it's not there...therefore not needed!!!!
By the way.... I GOT THE JOB!!! YAY!!!!
And for Irisheyes..they have to recruit "older" people under retirement age for equal opportunities, so you'll be fine.... and you're not that old anyway!!! Good luck to ya!!!

BA LGW Fleet Latest News?
Hi
Was wondering what the latest news was with LGW Fleet?
Are all current LGW WW crew coming to LHR or are some joining "OneFleet"?
Are LGW WW CSDs who stay becoming Cabin Manager or staying CSD?
Are current LGW E/F Pursers applying for Cabin Manager?
Will Cabin Managers fly shorthaul on the new fleet?
The seniority issue resolved re joining NSP?
If (as rumours suggest) their seniority in NSP will be at bottom, will crew who maybe join LGW fleet from LHR on transfer automatically be top of the pile at LGW?!
Cheers

Well speedmarque, interesting question but to be honest there are very few cases (certainly none that I have heard of) of people transferring into LGWEF but I stand to be corrected.
However, to answer your question, as non NSP transferring to NSP you join a new contract which means you join at the bottom....likewise if you were to go to the other way...you join the bottom of the non NSP seniority list!!!

I believe only a handful, perhaps even one or two will be staying.

I don't think any CSD's are staying, but if they do then they would, I presume have to be CM's.
Are current LGW E/F Pursers applying for Cabin Manager?
Yes the closing date was 28th May and we are currently awaiting the email to invite us, or not, for interview
Will Cabin Managers fly shorthaul on the new fleet?
Yes they will but mostly just to keep in check, so perhaps once a month at most.
The seniority issue resolved re joining NSP?
NSP is still being talked about, it's all rumour and conjecture at the moment. heard loads of different rumours myself from different unions but I will keep them to myself until more definate.
If (as rumours suggest) their seniority in NSP will be at bottom, will crew who maybe join LGW fleet from LHR on transfer automatically be top of the pile at LGW?!
Not sure, no one has ever gone that way before and I don't think an agreement exists for this. One for the unions to mull over if anyone wants to transfer. Perhaps this will be resolved when we join the NSP.

LGW Training on 31st July
Hi everyone!
After coming out of my interview last Monday quite certain that I had failed miserably I was all ready to go home and cry myself to sleep. But no more than 24hrs later I got my "Congrats" email!
Just been given a start date of 31st July at LGW.
If anyone else reading this will be joinging me on that course please get in touch, it'd be great to speak to you.
Also thanks to all those regular posters on pprune, your previous posts have been fascinating to read and helped a lot with my interview preparation.
Looking forward to woorking with you all.
xXx

Hi, well as far as I know, most of the training is at LGW and some at LHR. I was told on my interview day that they bus us up to LHR when needed and then bus us back again, unless of course we need to be at LHR on consecutive in which case we stopover.

Applied for Six Month Temp ww lhr and now been offered Gatwick Fleet which is great as it's permanent. Just wondering whether it is possible to commute.
Do lgw do shorthaul trips in the same way as their colleagues on lhr ef do? Also places to stay near Gatwick Airport? Any ideas>?

Hi ABBB
Not sure about your other questions as Im just as new to this.
All I know is that Im supposed to be trained for mixed fleet at LGW, so no idea really about what LHR temp crew transferring to LGW will be doing.
I'm sure someone will post an answer soon.
I live NW London and going to commute, I don't really have an option, so I hope that it won't be too gruelling or expensive!! Depending on time of day, I will also drive.
Maybe see you there - Best of luck though.

Dunno which bit of NW london you're from but if you're close to Thameslink its a pretty reliable hassle free way to work. BAA used to do a airport worker railcard but that may have stopped. Its a load easier than the M25 anyway.

Don't quote me on this but the "rumour" I heard at work was that courses from August would be dual trained. However we all know the rumour mill and also how things can change at the last minute!
