It does amaze me when some people say WW wants them to work as slaves. Do they know anything about history at all? How ignorant of them to even remotely compare these issues.
They also say, pay peanuts and get monkeys. So all crew at LGW and pretty much all crew in the UK (various airlines) are monkeys then? When challenged, they say "no, no, LGW crew aren't monkeys, that's not what we mean". So what do they mean then?
I know quite a few would think I'm jealous or whatever of their money and therefore want to see them get "shafted" at LHR. Not the case at all. I just want to be able to keep my job, do it well and considering I'm able to live fairly comfortably on my LGW salary, I don't need to go to LHR to make ends meet. Yes, it means I can't go to fancy restaurants, I can't buy designer clothes, handbags and shoes, and I can't go on holiday to far flung places several times a year. However, I'm happy! Seriously, I'm happy with my lot. I've got a car that gets me from A to B (and sometimes C), I've got a lovely place to live, even if it is the size of a shoe box, and I've got really good friends and a lovely family. What more could I wish for?
So many people out there have lost their jobs, house, car etc. Think about it, Bassa folks who think it's all sunshine in the real world. I don't want anyone to lose out on a lot of money, but as I've said before, something's gotta give.
