What is GB planning ?

Are they planning to pull out of Manchester, East Midlands and Bristol?

Can you bid for trips, swap trips at GB? Do they use Carmen software etc?

You can put an offer to change your flights, but since all flights are the same (either a Spain, a cananies/greece or a flight so long you don't want to do it), the only thing that people want are days off - who doesn't?

GBs plans are to carry on regardless - lots of dreary charter destinations going there and back. MAN have a some new/returning flights this winter.

how easy or hard is it to get the day off you want? So far to me it doesnt seem like there is much flexibility (i.e trip or bidding) at GB.

According to deserters of GB recruitment, if you can string a sentence together in English (pronunciation not necessarily an obstacle, if the PAs on a recent AGP are anything to go by), can add and subtract and don't look like you're entirely thick as two short planks - you should do fine. GB used to be very picky about crew, but then BA and VS started recruiting again so they ended up having to take on leftovers.

Turroncin,

I have worked at GB for 10 years - your comments are unjust, unfounded and untrue.

I left GB a few years ago - but insultive comments like these still get my back up.

Me thinks an apology is in order!

I'm sorry you are upset, but perhaps you could explain why on the recent AGP flight no one understood a word that was said on the PA by SE Asian crew member, and the purser went to the back of the plane in the meantime and started joking about it with the other two crew members in the back galley?

Let hope any new cabin crew that join GB Airways are better than the idiots on the LGW-PFO-LGW that I experienced recently on 03rd-18th August.

None of us will ever fly GB Airways again.

diesel862,

I think if yr gonna be so vocal of your bad experience with GB you should really back it up and explain what happened.

2 sides to every story and all that........

Turroncin (however u spell it - and who cares) - maybe because your command of the English language is worse than u expect from others....

Diesel - the wording of your post says more about you than the crew you experienced on that flight (if you want to go to a low cost Charter holiday destination for your holidays on a low cost flight then maybe you should have a reality check on your expectation levels - reading your previous posts on PPRUNE I expected better from you.. apart from that, the less said the better...)

(PS Turrocin - I have reported you the admins of this site for your comments and will pursue any inflammatory or insultive comments; us in aviation should know better!)

Please would you all stop bickering. You will find it easier to make whatever point you wish to make if you do it with thoughtful and considered language, rather than that of the playground.

Does anyone know anything about the cabin crew management positions they are recruiting for? What are they like to work for?

Also, a general querie, with staff travel, what are their entitlements? Do they get One World benefits, etc?

Easyjet to Buy GB Airways........................ Seems that none of us saw that one coming. What will happen to all the crew that they have just given interviews and jobs to? I have only flown with them a couple of times, but was always given the impression that the crew were very loyal to GB and not to BA.
