Indeed however the salary and working hours are not good. Still we could import a few hundred thousand EU folk and pay them slave labour wages. Oh I forgot no we can't, so maybe these scummy companies might want to pay a decent wage if they want staff. Yeah. maybe , let"s hope so. I worked in two jobs at Gatwick- both useless money and unsociable shifts, although I heard on LBC yesterday that BA renegotiated all their long term staff new contracts, cutting them right down , a new cabin crew member on the new route out of Gatwick is starting on 14 k- so maybe not putting pay up!

BA screwed their staff during covid. Used it to change their contracts. But this is the airport employed staff as well. They thought they were being clever. Maybe they were, but only then and not now. But there aren’t many options to get to the med and further so people will need to keep booking flights.

Yeah, life seems to be getting a lot harder to do anything-and that"s not even the extra financial costs, the whole country seems to be falling apart, it will be interesting to see if we ever get back to that normality of a couple of years ago that we didn"t appreciate, I doubt it.

W12, is this some form of policy, a suggestion, or just something from a scaremongering site? This is probably close to the truth because Greta and big Dave said we are killing the planet. I fear we may have to suck it up as fact is stranger than fiction.

They did indeed, my neighbour worked for BA she was laid off by email, having not heard anything from the company for months during COVID. They asked her to go back, no chance.

Michael o Leary saying the problems started after brexit- they can"t hire europeans so have to train home grown - oh well, lets hope the people turfed off planes voted for it, they will understand and not be bitter.

Brexit had nothing to do with the laying off of staff rather than taking up the furlough offer, it’s just another pathetic excuse by O’Leary. Don’t forget he was one of the major driving forces in getting planes up and running after the pandemic, even though they did not have the staff.

It's disgusting that the travel industry took billions in taxpayers money constantly complained about travel restrictions and now is complaining it's not their fault. They chose to sack staff whilst trousering our money meant to retain those staff on furlough. They were given plenty of notice by the government that travel restrictions were to end through the road map and yet the greedy so and so's overbooked holiday's they couldn't support. My pensioner friend is off to Rhodes with TUI on Saturday, then again maybe she isn't. I suspect every text and email she gets between now and then feels her with dread.

looks like we are back to the 1970s. Drive to a local town for your annual holidays.
