Gotcha, I don't earn more than that now and I struggle (My current method of transport to work is bicycle!) so cost of getting to LHR each day certainly outweighs that.
It seems that BA really are recruiting as many as possible on as bad conditions as possible, the ad said minimum £17k! what a con. It's a shame that someone as reputable as BA can be that misleading unless you dig deep into the T's & C's.
Think I'm going to get my pink licence sorted and head over to EZY at Gatwick.
Thanks so much for being honest! and I hope things get better for all you current Mixed Fleet guys and girls.
