Im in southwest London Zone 2 and go into work with the tube to LHR or a bus and train to LGW. Cant justify having a car which I would barely use!

I don't live in the UK now, but this question is relevant for where to consider living if/when I do move back. To be fair, I'm not even in the hold pool yet, but nothing like a bit of blind optimism!
Thanks

If you're LH and dual based, you'll swipe in as above at LHR and at Atlantic House landside for LGW reports.

Don't quite understand the need to have answered that question; from an outsider looking in I would consider those kind of requests with a little more caution... what is to gain by giving someone you don't know that information??!

Why would anyone wanting to know about a car park used at an airport by an employer in a thread about joining that employer be such a weird question that should be met with ‘caution’. Is it impossible that someone might just have been at gatwick where ba are recruiting and wants a heads up on it? Just a thought...

To be fair I initially thought the same, but at second glance I think Polepilot is right. Hence I gave the answer. It’s hardly highly sensitive information. As we all know bad parking arrangements can really make life unnecessarily difficult. We are lucky at LGW to have a short walk to the terminal, rather than limited spaces and an unreliable 10 min bus ride.

Polepilot, completely understand, I'm just taking it at face value, and what is to be gained by releasing that information - behind a forum you will never know peoples' true motives for asking details on employees of a particular company, and their routine which they have to complete on a daily basis.
That's all, it's just an observation - I guess I'm just a bit more cynical than most!
Slight deviation off topic for which I apologise - very envious of those getting calls - congratulations!

The ex BMI guys (not all but most) and now some of the more senior SH bods have a car park you walk to the terminal from at LHR. It makes a huge difference not to have to wait for a bus. It’s probably not much quicker if you time the bus right but the walk is a welcome break unless the rain is in your face.

Rumour has it there has been a massive miscalculation of pilot manpower levels (possibly one of the issues in part that caused the departure of the DFO) and hence it wouldn’t surprise me to see a new campaign open up, depends whether network will have just had to adjust their plans though.
