Just untrue I'm afraid.
I can't believe you actually mean the things you say . Sure BA has some exceptional and talented cabin crew. We still win awards for in flight service. However the overall picture is pretty grim.

For example;

I was in Compass when the gnd staff walked out - there was massive disruption and late in the afternoon the company sadly made an announcement over the office PA that all long haul flights were to depart empty ( probably a sensible decision in the circumstances) .

What sums up BA cabin crew, was their reaction. No sadness for all the passengers who's hard earned holidays were totally stuffed on that day,. No compassion for families enduring mayhem in the terminal. No concern for the financial damage to BA . No apprehension at the deleterious effect to BA's reputation. JUST A MASSIVE, and I mean massive, and total CHEER from over 400 cabin crew. That's what many BA cabin crew think of our passengers - they despise them.

Sad but true.
