the mods can say what they like as long as it isn't a personal attack against someone. I don't see anyone cutting them down here... ezybus thought he was attacked. I guess theres two sides to the fence
and the mods don't let people get to them, if theres a problem they just ban, simple!

Sounds like the BA rumour mill is going flat out and you've been the victim of some of it...don't plan on all BA's work being out of LHR for a very long time, if ever . As others have said, even if T5 was big enough to cope with all of BA's LHR and LGW flights there simply are not enough take-off and landing slots i.e. runway "space" to cope.....
OTOH I'd rather work at LGW than LHR...good luck wherever you end up.

I know the company want some of the routes from LGW to transfer to LHR, especially the IAH and from what I understand open-skies MAY be signed in October, but the issue is slots and terminal space.
To say that all the work will eventually come to LHR is slightly naive. Firstly would BA hand LGW over to EZY when SH has just started making money and leave themselves no pressure valve for when things get tight at LHR. Secondly where are BA going to find 150 slots a day for the work to be transfered. When the third runway is built then perhaps there is a possibility, but until then work may go and work will come.
As for the pay, it has already been signed that we will be paid our hourly rate just as we are at the moment. The common opinion is that are allowances will be slightly more than WW at the moment. The basic will be less though, especially for higher grades.
Look forward to flying with you though.

Im in LHR too and I have not heard anything of the such. Perhaps the IAH's/DFW's and ATL's will come up and at a stretch the BGI's and BDA's but there is no way even with T5C that we can fit the entire LGW EF into LHR!!! Also the newer routes served out of LGW have been specially selected for the LGW demographic as opposed to LHR.
T5C will not give enough scope for BA to expand significantly even if we do keep a small number of flights in T3 after it opens. I think you are just being a Troll trying to rile everyone up.
I too have met Willie (for the umpteenth time considering I worked for him elsewhere) and had the pleasure of asking him about LGW whilst on a flight down to SYD recently. He said that if LGW do start to make a profit then he has big plans to expand there so I dont know where you get the impression that your Fit For 5 was any different. But then a small number of you ground staff do seem to be the source of all gossip within BA, I know cos my other regularly comes home from work in T1 full of endless tripe that he claims is gods truth!

Besides you work for another airline so really shouldn't make any comments about things that you don't know at all.
We have a CLEAR business plan (made by people who are the best in the business) which is very explicative and gives us details on the future of short haul operations out of LGW. If you had had the clever idea to read the papers before writing this post you'd know that BA made lots of money this year and that SH operations are in fact profitable as they are at the moment!
Guys do not take these speculations into consideration.....they are, in fact, only speculations made by somebody who is trying to irritate people who probably are in a better position than him/herself.
The new Gatwick fleet will be great....stunning new B777 aircraft, great destinations and, above all, really good and fun people who worked really hard during SH for years and now cannot wait to be lying in the sun for a change and having a BALL!! Unlike some other airlines "b****ing" is very uncommon.
Guys do not forget....at LGW promotion can be very quick, if a career in the airline business is what you want and you're good at your job (and show some kind of understanding of our business!!) you could become a purser with 2 years' flying for BA or 1 year flying for BA + 1 year with another carrier.
WLITS........I know the feeling!!!
Paddy...you're so right! I have a friend in CS at LGW who always tells me the most outrageous and ridiculous gossip!! Maybe they have too much spare time to play with while at work
(no offence intended!) BTW They should stop calling it Galley FM and start calling it Check-in FM!! FBW

why w8 years to transfer to LHR when you can do this!!!
Hello
I work for BA for over 5years and have finished my training at LGW for 'onefleet'.. I have heard the wait for LHR EF is years and years and with me having the years service I dont qualify just yet for being transferred yet.. So here is a plan which would get you transferred in NO TIME..
-Once BA hire again for EF LHR it should be advertised in the ejobscan posting on the intranet just apply that way you wil have to go thru the same process interview etccccccc... the advantage is thats the quicker way...
With the transfer system remember u lose you crew date of joining anyway once u transfer over so at least then this way will keep u your COMPANY D.O.J
Soooo what do you think?? Many people are doing it this way and heard EF LHR will be out next year!!!

Ok Apaddy, I always think these things are worth a try!
And cabincrewmember, i've not heard of anyone doing that the way you describe. As far as I know if you do that you will have to leave ba in order to come in again at the bottom of the pile at LHR, not only with your crew date but also with your company date of joining.
I think its sad that people who are just joining are already working out how to transfer out of LGW. Its a great place to work and you might well enjoy it, but i'd question why you or anyone who wants to be at LHR that badly would join LGW in the first place?

cabincrewmember,
I think you are being misled, or are trying to mislead others.
One person, about three years ago, managed to slip through the system this way. Since then management has put a ban on this happening.
EVERYONE, THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GO FROM LGW TO EFLHR IS TO JOIN OUR TRANSFER LIST.
At the moment transfers are put on hold, and until the Gatwick Fleet is up and running it is unlikely to happen. I say unlikely but rumour mill is saying it may happen this year.
I can see it happening to clear the list of the few ex EOG people that still haven't been given the chance to go. They have been waiting at least four years, FOUR YEARS PEOPLE. That may give you some idea of how long you may need to wait.
Everyone please ask before you start posting.
