Hmmm...
This seems to have turned into a CC blowing sunshine up themselves thread.
The point was that management have hosed money at cc fot turning up to work and doing their jobs.
Someone mentioned the HEL standover. This is not untypical of the fact that you get a lot more for your money out of BA S/H pilots than you do from the cc.
Some (I stress some) crew who are posting prolifically on this forum don't seem to recognise that the qualifications required to do ther job are:
nothing
the training is
a few weeks
the experience required to be an 'in charge' member by the CAA is
1 yr
If BA cc were benchmarked there would be a sudden glut of second-hand Boxsters, Audi TTs and Mercedes CLKs in the Thames Valley Autotrader.
Anyone who doesn't believe that, just loiter on the Northern Perimeter road for a while!
