I am a member of the SLF which regulary travels BA longhaul, I also work for another airline. Ass I understand it:
1. BA are short of CC due to the season change - how can they recruit for such a short period. I also understand that the union contract insists on full leave allocation at this time when things would always be tight.
2. As a passenger I spend most of the night sectors waking up Cabin Crew or interupting galley meetings to get a simple drink.
I sugest BA Cabin Crew on LH get a life.
My opinion - and that is as a commercial customer - BA is a great company being runined by overpaid crew - remember who gave them the name Bad Attitude!!!! It is still deserved.
