BMI BABY - "where’s the logic"
The add for BMI baby has now appeared in flight international for there "Logistics control": Logistics control manager / senior logistics controllers / logistics controllers / logistics officers..
why, why, why - do low cost airlines feel the need to glorify the name??
What was wrong with "operations department"?????

Maybe it is an ex military man placing the add, an ex member of the Royal Logistics Corp (or should that be Royal Corps of Logistics?). They probably have the most revolting Corps tie of any unit, it rivals the MCC tie in cricket!!

Maybe it's because it is a combination of both ops and crewing. if you post ops jobs then just ops people apply, if you post crewing jobs then just crewing people apply, so how do you get both? Change the title and give a discription that fits.

Is this also a new way forward for Loco's
Combining Jobs and saving money, I hoped this would never return.... You just end up with a Controller that favours ops and leaves a lot of S..t for the crewing manager (sorry I meant logistics manager) to sort the next day.
Looks like you will be busy Doc

Yep, saves money which is what locos are all about. Why have 2 people getting stressed when it can be reduced to 1 
But as bartelby points out, a controller who favours Ops may just leave most of the crewing work to the manager, but by then, it may be too late ! I remember a case years back when this happened and a whole crew was still at home on SBY when they should have been in the crew room. Said controller blamed the "ops" workload for the oversight. He was right, CFMU went down and he spent most of his night shift re-planning and re-filing plans and completely forgot to call out an early crew !
