ALL the cabin crew i flew with yesterday had done between 50 and 60 hours in the preceding 6-7 days .
Not trying to start a fight, but how many flying hours did they do in that period? A shorthaul pilot at BA would do around 30 or so, giving 90 in a month (based on 10 days off).
I would expect the CC to have done significantly less. This is a combination of inefficient rostering practices and inefficient agreements. Sadly, each influences the other. There needs to be movement on both sides (BA and BASSA) before anything gets better. I don't begrudge the CC their money, but I don't believe they do anywhere near enough
flying hours (which is what we're paid for after all) to justify it.
BTW, the £13000 cap is for basic pay. Not great I agree, particularly in the South East, but £1000k a month in allowances has to help. (Friend's g/f is new contract main crew).
