Jarvis when you say your going flying and its not the best of jobs, i hope you are talking bout the particular company you are going to work for an not flying in general. I do realise that all the groundstaff have been through a tough time over the last 6 months, but if you are going flying as cabin crew then possibly an attitude adjustment maybe required? It is hard to do that particular role if you just look on it as a job to pay the mortgage. many people just look on it as an easy job, dishing out smiles with the drinks and many people then find its one of the hardest roles they have done!! I wish you all the best in your flying "job".

Jarvis you will get plenty of time off. At least you are only 32 a number of staff that have come from the regions for CC look as if they are 52 and it will be a sharp shock to them. FYI a number of GLA (16) females completed their course this week and said it had been good fun, you may find yourself on an internal CC course.

HZ123.. thank for that I know what you mean I am out of 73 from manchester nearer the lowest age than the oldest average age I would say is 45....I hope your right about having lots of time off that would be great..saying that it could be 2 months before we even start our course so could be sick to death of home life by then might need a break
don't know about a internal course friend of mine went on a EF course last month 5 weeks and very hard work but you never know
cheers Lee

It may be a couple of months as in the next few weeks a majority of CC Line trainers are required back on line. Thus from August onwards the courses will virtually cease until mid September. 200 people from outside have had their start dates postponed, so as you can imagine they are not to happy either. As for the course you will find it to be a long day but as you are internal you will be very much aware of the type of course it is and how BA work. Just get into it and I am sure you will enjoy. CC traners run very smooth courses unlike many other sections within BA.

More Redundancies.
Sorry to reopen an old thread but yesterday the majority of Manchester's remaining ground staff, IE Engineers, got the bullet.
22 out of 33 will be looking for work by Christmas.
We could do with a bit of hard info reference enhanced severence package as we suspect we are going to be shafted with a much poorer offer.
Any help would be appreciated. PM me if that is easier.

Not in a Union???
This time private solicitors may be the best way forward.

I would not put a great deal of hope with lawyers. Most companys Human Resources/Personnel have already passed all their actions through a legal department before they advise the staff. Good luck.

The unions are HOPELESS...
They take your money each and every month but when it comes down to the wire and you need some 'help', they are NOWHERE to be seen. All talk at political conferences, all talk on the news and all talk on the picket lines.
What a shower of
they are!
