I am Eurofleet Gatwick crew... So those of you that arent.. Pls sit down!
I cant believe the rubbish that people write when they obviously have no clue!
I joined BA LGW a number of years ago. The number of sectors we do has risen and we do work hard. But we see that reflected in our pay cheques each month! Easily £1300 at least!
We have excellent crew and although we are working especially hard due to being under crewed at the moment, we are a happy lot. We're still here.. so it cant be that bad!
Part of the reason we're under crewed is because SO many of out crew have transfered to LHR... So those of you that say LGW doenst feed LHR really dont know a thing! They have recruited directly into LHR because we cant afford to lose any more crew at LGW at the present time... But transfers will always be available, as long as you have completed 2 years service.
I think that its quite hard to work S/H LGW and commute, although I do know a few crw that do it. We have a bidding system which allows us to request what sort of work we want, i.e. 3/4 day trips or there-and-backs! So its ideal to match your work life with your home life.
Those of us who work for BA are very proud to work for the "WORLDS FAVOURITE AIRLINE"!! Even if we are at LGW S/H... But we have chosen to do that.. I personally would hate to work from LHR... I'm completely content where I am!
