BA staff braced for job cuts after sale

Terry Murden, Scotland on Sunday Online, 12/11/06

BRITISH Airways staff in Scotland expect to hear of job cuts this week 
following the sale of BA Connect to cheap flights rival Flybe. 

The company said the sale would have a "significant impact on BA ground 
handling activities" and it is feared that as many as 150 of the 434 staff 
could be axed. 

BA Connect represents 53% of BA's Edinburgh flights, 35% of those going 
through Glasgow and 25% in Aberdeen. The Edinburgh figure is inflated as it 
includes London City flights which will be retained. Manchester's 300 staff 
are also affected and the cabin crew base will close.
