This is untrue. Please can we not try and spread rumours. This is stressful enough as it is.

BA today issued a FAN suspending Schedule F of the Memorandum of Agreement. Some
ongoing training courses are indeed being canned.

Rishi Sunak just announced financial help to UK businesses and airlines with a series of measures, with an initial bailout of £330Bi. I guess BA has no excuse to make pilots, or any other employee redundant now, considering their profits and cash liquidity they have plus Government cash injections to avoid redundancies.

Macron stated €300bn is to protect french jobs.....no french redundancies. The same must apply to the UK £300bn

Lot of banter in previous threads about Nigels wanting part time. Well the door should be wide open now surely? Or will guys n girls back track?
This would mitigate only a small amount I appreciate.

No, the "Nigels" I know who have been pushing for Part Time aren't back tracking.

Whether offering Part Time fits in with the company's plans remains to be seen.

Yes, once you’ve started day one, you are an employee. I don’t think anyone was suggesting people been told to go home from a course and rejoin the holding pool.

Sadly I very much doubt they’ll be going anywhere but short haul.

LH SFOs doing A320 command courses have had their courses canned and are being directed RHS 320. It’s not pretty.

They're also offering temporary secondments from the A380 to A350, killing two birds with one stone (dealing with the A380 surplus whilst filling the gaps of the poor A350 bound DEPs who had their contracts torn up..

I’d be thankful to have a job.

Indeed. Some companies seem significantly more forthright and open than others and ultimately ours is very generous indeed.

IAG are not debt laden I thought?

Nor would one imagine, they have any intention of being. IAG are utterly ruthless. Particularly with their Golden Goose, BA.

Looking at the posting history of said individual I’m not convinced.

Was merely a joke, dear boy. The fruit was hanging too low to ignore; besides, I needed to make my yearly post!

We got to see how truly awful some people could be during last year's pay talks. I personally hope said individual never works in aviation again.

Cheers and good luck to all those affected by this stupid bug.
