The price of a IAG take-over: 1200 jobs to go

12/04/2012 by Kevincm

1200 posts to go seems to be the first efficiency that IAG wishes to make with the take over of BMI

Both Unite who represent the ground crews and cabin staff as well as BALPA who represent the pilots are trying to negate the losses.

Unite say:

“Unite will be fighting to maintain as many jobs as possible and ensure that where vacancies exist people can be placed into suitable roles within BA,

Whilst BALPA state it would allocate

“all the resources at its disposal”

to support pilots affected by the takeover.

The estimated numbers come as the takeover of BMI by IAG edges ever closer. The problem BMI has is that it is still loosing money hand over fist – and the costs need to be contained.

Sadly, that means we are heading to the “Synergy” phase of the takeover… which means all departments are under the spotlight to save money. The cuts represent a 1/3rd of the total workforce of over 3,600 people.

So a message from GhettoIFE.com towers to BMI:

Good luck to all the BMI members of staff out there in all departments

For whenever the airline had problems, it had an IT mess-up, an Airbus A330 had engine issues or the Indian Call Centre was acting more stupid than ever, the staff have been the one saviour of the airline every single time.
