I don't want to turn this forum post into a debate on airline versus airline and who has it easier, that is going on in another thread with nearly 300 posts already! (see Attention BA Staff & Shareholders in the Rumours&News forum).

I agree with you that its great to hear vasts' comment on being happy. The more the merrier.

But.....

I ask please that you consider that the longer a company has been in business, and the larger they are, the more moaning you'll get. BA is still employing people taken on in the 70's, and in over 30 years, contracts have been offered at different salaries as the aviation markets have changed. Quality of life onboard has changed and so too have the perks, the rostering and the future security. Its inevitable there is going to be more complaints in BA staff, than within airlines which have managed their stability over a shorter business life.

Your comment may be true and I understand where youre coming from, but I feel its an unfair measure.
