Is ORD changing to WW from MF for the Winter schedule, as was suggested earlier?

If so, when would this change take place?

Many thanks!

No, ORD will remain a MF operated route.

These route changes are related to the changes in aircraft licensing that MF CC will hold (some of them will now be 787 trained).

LOS and LAX will transfer back to our WW colleagues and IAD, JNB and SAN will transfer to MF. ICN will also be operated by MF on the 787.

Does anyone know if BA teaches men how to make up during the induction process?

Why, would you benefit from some help?

The answer is - yes, if you want it!

When I joined the airline xx years ago, representatives from "Clinique" were brought in to run the make up sessions. The so-called "straight" men among us wangled an extended coffee break, after being advised to use "scruffing" lotions, exfoliation stuff etc. The "gay" men were invited to remain behind to learn some of the inner secrets of subtle make up application etc. Of course, in the years that have followed, many "straight" guys have also been known to apply a bit of war-paint.

All joking aside, working in airport terminals or on aeroplanes subjects one to a very dry, dirty atmosphere and skin care, as well as looking after physical well-being is very important.

Even those who do manual work - loaders, engineers, pushback crews etc have "Hand Medic" in the loos to moisturise their hands and take care of them after using the gritty industrial hand soap!

Not really as I do not work for BA and I am not used to make up....

For those interested, Seattle and Budapest will be moving to Mixed Fleet.

(I'm sure there are some other changes but truth be told I cant remember!)

San Diego is moving to Mixed Fleet, too.

IAD, JNB, SAN, SEA

Eurofleet > Mixed Fleet

BSL, BUD, GOT, PRG, STR, WAW

TCX69 to the rescue as always thank you. My memory is failing me and I only read the list of changes a few hours ago!

Knew about the long haul switches except Seattle before today but it's also nice to see a few short haul routes switch over to Mixed Fleet.

Cairo reverts back to Worldwide 13/Apr – 14/May when it once again becomes B767 operated. Due to A321 MX, I believe.

For clarity, is it the case that BA11/12 (the LHR-SIN-LHR terminator service) will remain WW, even though BA15/16 (LHR-SIN-SYD-SIN-LHR) is MF?

Can I help you

The BA011/12 will remain a WW trip.

The mixed fleet cabin crew are awesome. I'm flying on BA282 on 3/21/15 and on BA269 on 3/29/15. Does anyone know if the cabin crew will be MF or WW on these flights? Or is the change effective April 2015?
