MMM!!

Good pay at BA?

I think not!

Not if you want the convetional life!

On 18k - 20k per annum I think you would struggle to buy a house/flat in the South East pay council tax, insurance, utility bills and run a car on such a low wage and yes it is a low wage the average UK income is over 25k a year for an average 40hr week. I know that for crew to get near the 25k mark you need to work a lot more hours and spend a lot of time away from home.

18-20k is fine if you want to spend the rest of your life renting rooms in sh!" hole areas around London and dont want for much.

I am still wondering why people are bothering with becoming cabin crew? Is it lack of ambiton? Is it lack of academic qualifications? Is it a (I dont know what I want to do) type thing?

I know its not glamarous I know that you dont get to see much of the places you visit even back in the days I worked out of LGW.

Poor pay, No job security, Crap stop overs, unhealthy work environment. Why?

The above does not apply to dollies with rich partners that keep them in a manner in which they feel accustomed to.
