On long haul there’s generally time to do it. On short haul you might find 30+ Golds on a GVA, for example, and it’s simply impractical to walk up and down saying hello to each one, especially as the SCCM is key in delivering the CE service. That being said we’re consistently told that it’s something Gold and above Exec members value, so any decent SCCM will do it when they can - time/service permitting. |

Once you've completed your first three or so months and master bidding for your trips/days off, you'll *generally* be able to make your roster work for you and your preferences, although you will have to maintain both shorthaul and longhaul licenses.

All crew must maintain a short haul license and so must stay recent on the A320, and so they cannot fly long haul *all* the time. However, the rules are fairly flexible and so most of the time you can achieve your preferences. For example, 1 there and back (1 day trip) every three months would be enough to maintain legal recency on the A320. Whether it’s enough to maintain familiarity with the service routines etc is debatable, but BA does not impose any limits above the legal minimums. |
I see, thanks for the explanation!

On two fights to and from DUB from LCY last week I saw a guy with a name badge designating him as, so far as i could read - I didn't want to stare, a "trainee manager". Does that mean that management trainees are sent forth to be regular cabin crew for a bit to learn life at the coal face? if so, good!

That being said we’re consistently told that it’s something Gold and above Exec members value, so any decent SCCM will do it when they can - time/service permitting. I've mentioned before that there can't be too may GGLs say back in economy on a 10-11hr flight, yet the lead cabin crew member in a pre-flight briefing could easily let the 6-8 crew members back there know "Mr. Smith is GGL and is in 87A; Mr. Johnson is GGLFL and in 80C" and let them deal with things. If GGL does become a tier in itself, would this mean GGLs are prioritized, regardless of cabin, over Golds for greetings etc.? |
A good IFL will make a list of any customers they want given recognition and give it to the crewmember serving them, as you say it is sometimes impossible for one person to do this due to numbers and other duties.
GGLs are already prioritised if there are a large number of Golds. |

not 100% on ba trainee manger scheme. However, if your on the BA graduate scheme. As a part of that scheme one of placement that you undertake, is a stint as cabin crew amongst plamcents within the business.

This isn't a thing at Cityflyer, I suspect what you saw was a Training Executive (as in, someone who carries out training).

One for flight crew here and linked to the resumption of LHR - TLV, does GPS jamming / spoofing, as is happening in Israel, prevent the use of RNAV approaches? My assumption is yes but wanted to check? Presumably there’s a NOTAM (or several …..) in force around Ben Gurion Airport?

A question for anyone in the know. Calls to BA Customer Service are recorded I'm advised. Does anyone know how long they are kept for?
TIA |
Hopefully a quick question - does anyone know what registration is due to operate LGW to MRU this Thursday [11th April]? Thanks
