• Planning Analyst / Cabin Crew

  • Jan 2012 - Oct 2020

  Working in the cabin crew manpower team, this project based role included:- * A350 Entry into Service – planning then implementing the licensing and rostering requirements for the first aircraft in 2019 and subsequent aircraft. Robust planning enabled this to be achieved despite changes to delivery dates, aircraft availability for mandatory training and late notice changes to aircraft flying schedules. * Manpower analysis & reporting during periods of industrial action, including devising a process to enable accurate real time forecasts of crewing levels, overcoming a restriction that meant systems were only updated once a day. * Route Moves – developed a suite of tools to enable modelling of different scenarios of how the flying work is allocated between groups of crew, balancing several factors which often are in conflict with each other including crew resource by fleet & aircraft licence, operating costs, legal hours, crew earnings & satisfaction, while also adhering to TU agreements. This work culminates in leading a series of meetings with senior managers to reach agreement on the split of work. * Devising the strategy for Cabin Crew Licencing – with 6 aircraft types in the current BA Fleet but crew only legally allowed to be licenced on 3, have devised combinations of licence groups and the number of crew to hold each. * Reporting and Analysis on Crew hours limits, and fleet productivity. The most tangible result of this has been the significant reduction in crew being unable to fly due to reaching their annual hours limits * ‘Ad-hoc’ analysis & reporting, for example working out the costs and benefits of changing crew allowances and rostering arrangements, coaching colleagues on Excel tips and techniques, or providing analysis for a Business Case. In conjunction with the office based role, I trained and operated as cabin crew on a number of long-haul flights Show less

  • Oct 2005 - Dec 2008

  I joined BA in the new role of e-ticket Capability Programme Manager. The programme comprised of 9 projects, and I was responsible for preparing the airline for the May 2008 IATA e-ticket mandate. The programme had already been running for some years, but needed a new approach and some creative thinking to resolve some of the more tricky scenarios remaining, such as overcoming challenges in some politically sensitive countries. The role including liaising with a variety of staff across the airline, including IT, Airport Staff, and Revenue Management. It also involved engaging Senior Management, who needed to embrace the project to avoid the implications should the company have failed to adequately implement e-ticketing by the time of the deadline.
