You Are Talking Crap
Yes you are mate,let me tell you some facts - BA operates by Union consent at around about 40 to 50% more than the minimum stipulated number of cabin crew per PAX,agreed a lot of this is passenger class comfort but its NOT legislation,any payments made for being 1 crew member down is not to bribe you into breaking the law ( as you cant and that's that ) its a payment to stop you whining about it.
I for one am appalled at this sort of C***,we often have to work ( and we have to WORK as well ) long hard nights outside with half the shift missing and nobody gives a S***, let alone offers us some wedge to stomach it - I agree you lot on longhaul are a waste of space and i can only hope Rod has the balls to sort you out,i have my Pini ready and a weekend free for all the in-depth training.
If you read this Rod go for it - " Chicken or Beef " - see i am half way there already.
Oh by the way - What is a MEAL ALLOWANCE?
