Oh Dear Shuttleworth calm down
If the rear cabin toilet was alight and your arse is on fire at 35000' and the only hope of you getting on the deck safely was the 'waitress' you have so much respect for fighting the fire, would you still have the same respect???
You guys crack me up.
BA have reduced costs dramatically. Yes they could reduce costs more. New entrant cabin crew at BA have an 8k basic and many earn the same as other uk airlines. Yes they have higher earning crew on old contracts. So what. Despite all the abuse they receive on this forum, they are still voted year in year out the best long haul and short haul crew by the likes of Business Traveller. Sorry to remind you of that but they must be doing something right.
Just give the guys a break and stop being bitter
