British Airways - Crew Discussions
 

So can anyone verify what actually happened in the Delhi hotel the night of the cancelled flight? Please dont mention the hotel name however.

In my experience PPrune is the only forum that actually takes this line.

They advertise you andc openly allow discussion reguarding you and links, you do not recipricate.

Pprune is IMHO is established as one of the leading forums. The threat from others is minimal.

Hi all,
I am BA ground staff and I just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou to anyone that was operating the above flight (arrived yesterday). My Mum was onboard returning to the UK for compassionate reasons (the only one on staff travel) and was extremely impressed by the level of service that she got both on board and at YYC, so if you were operating or you know anyone that was then please pass on my thanks it really means alot. Also if anyone from YYC reads this then thanks to you guys as well.

All the best Bluejay :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Here at BA they love my tight slot, must have it confused with yours.


abject apologies, feeling cheeky!:}

Anyone know why a flurry of cabin crew managers sent to BKK the other day and the BKK-SYD operating with a reduced compliment of 12 (and zone closures) due to 'a crew incident'?

Hi, does anyone know if you apply to be short haul crew and are succesful..can you then swop after some time and become long haul??
Thanks

Boyoneder,

Once you are on eurofleet, there will be a transfer list that you can put your name on from time to time that is for a move to worldwide. The order in which you move is done is in seniority.

Thanks for that, so does that mean that only senoir cabin crew can do long haul, cos I couln't see any where on the website that they are recruiting for long haul..otherwise I would have just applied for that.
Either way I dont mind, so we will just have to see.
Many thanks for your help tho!
Regards

boyoneder,

no, not just senior cabin crew do longhaul flying. this is how it works:

if successful, you will be recruited onto the shorthaul fleet at LHR.

then, later on this year - around Oct/Nov - The Opportunities and Choice Framework will open again. this opens once every two years and it enables you to put your name on a transfer list to transfer to a different fleet (i.e. longhaul LHR; singlefleet LGW etc) and to bid for a change in contract type (i.e. to go from 100% full time to either 75% or 50% parttime).
usually, you have to have done 2 years with the company before you can put your name on any of these lists (however, last time round they scrapped this rule at the insistance of our union, BASSA, due to there being not enough crew with that level of seniority to fill the lists sufficiently. so it was open to all crew no matter how long you had been with the company).

then the lists are compiled into seniority order within grade. after that, you just have to wait for a phonecall/crewlink message offering you a transfer of parttime.

however, i warn you that you must expect to wait AT LEAST 2/3 years for a transfer to longhaul from shorthaul, and around 7/8 years for parttime.

British Airways Overseas Bases
 

British Airways has, as I understand, several overseas bases for cabin crew. According to their website, Bahrain, Buenos Aires and New Delhi are a few of those. Are these all of them or do they have any further ones?

Errmm....

HKG base 3 or 4 per HKG flight and 2 on the PEK

SIN base 1 per flight LHR-SIN, SIN-SYD and LHR-PVG

NRT base 4 per flight LHR-NRT-LHR

CAI base 2 per flight LHR - CAI, LHR-AUH-MCT, LHR-KWI

BAH base, 2 per flight LHR -BAH-DOH, LHR-DXB.

BOM base, 3 or 4 on LHR-BOM and LHR-BLR

MAA base, 4 on LHR-MAA

DEL base, 3 on LHR-DEL.

DAC base, 2 on LHR-DAC and LHR-CCU.

MEX base, 4 on LHR-MEX.

GRU base, 2 or 3 on LHR-GRU-GIG

EZE base, 1 on LHR-GRU-EZE.

"Anyone know why a flurry of cabin crew managers sent to BKK the other day and the BKK-SYD operating with a reduced compliment of 12 (and zone closures) due to 'a crew incident'?"

haven't heard a dickie bird about this..does anyone know?

There was a brief flurry of info on other forums but it was stamped on fairly rapidly. Certainly not suitable for PPRUNE.

British Airways - CSD role
 

Hi,

I have an interview for CSD coming up for BA- can anyone out there shed some light on what they might be looking for at interview and any advice for how i might take it on? I believe there is a group discussion or task too- anyone have any experience of this?

Is T5 going to be solely for use by BA then? where abouts are they building it? (im not very lhr savvy lol!!)

It's between the thresholds for runway's 09L (the north one) & 09R (the south one), over by the fuel farm :)

T5 Not For Oneworld
 

All BA! Hurrah
