More BA jobs to go?
Just had a friend phone saying that BA announced another 200 jobs to go as a direct result of the Brymon / British Regional merger.
Can't see any other reference on this site. Anyone got any news?

The following press release was doing the rounds this morning:
5th October 2001, 11:25
Source: Extract from British Airways Press Release
Regional Network Changes
British Airways today announced that it is to combine its two UK regional subsidiaries, creating the second largest regional airline operation in Europe.
British Airways Regional (BAR) is to become part of the newly formed British Airways CitExpress, creating a single entity for its short-haul regional domestic and European network.
The combined regional business will have a turnover in excess of £600 million and a fleet of 92 aircraft serving more than 120 routes. The new entity will employ around 3,200 people and carry some five million
passengers each year.
The airline also confirmed a number of capacity, frequency and route changes. In the current economic, the integration of BAR with British Airways CitiExpress will also help safeguard the future of regional flying and ensure a more flexible and co-ordinated approach to services.
David Evans, British Airways' General Manager, UK Business said, "Harnessing the strengths and route networks of British Airways' CitiExpress and BAR under the control of a single operating unit will put our regional operation in a stronger position at a time of economic downturn and increased competition".
The synergies resulting from the integration, along with the tactical capacity reductions and network changes, will mean the regional business will employ around two hundred fewer people in the future.
Over the coming weeks British Airways will be consulting with trade union representatives regarding the integration of BAR staff with the British Airways CitiExpress business.

Ceefax suggests job losses will be management and support staff. Probably good news for current BACE flight and cabin crew in terms of job safety. BAR crew may have to have new terms and conditions / pay deal etc.
Please see my posting for news.
