quote- runway vacated

How can any organisation tolerate the cost disparity between a 272 seat 777 from LGW being crewed by 10, led by a Cabin Manager on £27k plus hourly rate, versus a 223 seater crewed by 12 from LHR led by a CSD on £35k plus Box payments, destination payments, one down payments, no-bunk-on-long-range payments PLUS allowances, AND absurdly restrictive "off roster" agreements?

Both are sold, quite rightly, as the full BA "brand", and yet the LGW product is offered at MUCH lower cost, and, in my view, with as high if not higher, quality.

well, you got a point. you dont run a jensen interceptor on 12 mpg when you can get 55mpg out of a new car! much as you might like the retro styling! still wondering if walsh shelves newfleet threat would bassa accept everyone working to lgw t&c's? which would mean complete flexibility throughout bases etc. you guys do it- why shouldn't we?
