Astounding - how on earth can BA pilots come on here then and berate their own cabin crew (70% of which earn an average of £11,000+allowances) ,and say they should earn even less and do more than 60 hours a week ?
Is it purely to better their lot even more or are they strangely gratfied by seeing people financially suffer?
When you're on £9000pa , a paydrop is the difference between exisiting and not.
At the above salary levels ,its the difference between wifey having the latest Mercedes this year or not / which school the kids go to ...
Perhaps these people will be only be happy when they have sufficient evidence that all BA cabin crew are officially homeless and destitute...it makes you wonder what makes these people tick ...
Record levels of crew are leaving BA because of the salaries and working conditions - i haven't heard of the pilots being affected in the same way and leaving too .....
We're all paid out of the same purse ,and we all have signed various contracts - i know what i'll have to say if this dares to be bought up in conversation...
