Lies, Damn Lies Etc
Back off vultures!
BA are keeping all contracts.
The staff numbers will be reduced at MAN but not to the numbers being bandied around the ramp.
It's a dedicated bunch of Engineers with huge experience and as far as 777 work is concerned a massive logistiics back up at LHR & Cardiff.
BA are the only engineering organisation offering 777 License cover at MAN.
STORM are struggling to recruit. I wonder why?
As for BP. My condolences to all. It's a right kick in the teeth, good luck.

Sounds like good news for the BA guys (but no good having logistics back up that you can't get your hands on!!!). Not sure that BA are the only B777 cover at MAN though (uncle spannersatcx care to comment???)
As for the tea cup dwellers, what more can you add!!!!

Are you staff side or management? Seems to me BA's tactic is to deliver a position which they negotiate back from. They've done similar at Manchester before as they've slowly whittled it down over the last 6 yrs.

Meee? Management? Wash your mouth out with soap and water!
Can't disagree there Blueray.
It is a typical BA management trick but we will see how it pans out.
Afterall most of the old style management are taking the king's schilling anyway.
Come JAN 1st BA will either fall apart or become the most efficient airline this side of MOL's ego.

Hey 747, hardly a new kid (over 45 so more like OAP
), but guess still considered new at VS (less than 3 years). Can't deny that spannersatcx was the basis of my name (no we aren't related), sorry if that offends!!

In answer to the question
After some research, (and being away with no internet access) no BA are not the only people to offer 777 cover.
Not sure that BA are the only B777 cover at MAN though (uncle spannersatcx care to comment???)
