I recall conversations about the New Cabin Crew rates where it was admitted that eventually (somewhere between 12-16 years?) they would rise to match old contract rates. I shall ask around.
There is an enthralled conversation going on in the BA BALPA forum. Pilots cannot believe what is happening. Try this:
One pilot compares pay for hours flown... c/crew rostering practices (minimum 3 day mbtr etc) means that l/haul c/crew fly appx 500hrs per annum so now when you divide that 60k csd earnings and compare with the 90k (but 850hr) pay point 14 l/haul skipper guess who's on the better hourly rate....and has a better homelife, more inflight rest?. He goes on: the F/O last trip had a chat with the club purser who confessed to taking home £6k recently (by his own admission a 'rare' one off - but how many pilots under pp15 can match that even as a one off?
Similarly the other F/O has a purser wife who is 50% part time so if she is rostered a trip that returns on day 28 her first rostered item is...... 3 days MBTR
There we have it- £6k in one month for a cabin attendant......any advances? Hurry up, BA can't stay in business much longer at these rates!
