‘on the uniform question, it doesn’t say BA uniform. Quite interesting. It may be like IB express where they have different and “better” uniforms.’
It doesn’t actually say anything about uniforms. Personally I don’t expect it to be any different. The branding will be the same.

"Competing with carriers like Easyjet and Wizz"

So the low-cost reference in the thread title is in relation to the costs of the business not the customer marketing ‘low-cost’ slogan we are familiar with as Joe and Jen bloggs, hoping for £9.99 fares! The above recruitment letter states…this will be a premium airline…
I’m happy with that but more importantly happy to see BA back at LGW S and that lovely lounge they had only just opened, well that’s what it felt like pre-pandemic. I’m assuming they will be back at South?

The question now is what routes go to Gatwick? Is it the ones that haven’t been moved to LHR for S22, or will some LHR ones go back to LGW? If it is the latter, I’m sure customers are thrilled seeing their flights go from LGW to LHR to LGW.
