Tofster, don't listen to all the nonsense about LGW eurofleet by people who have never worked there.
We are a GREAT bunch of people, both cc and f/d and as for money....it's improved a lot lately. My April and May rosters are ONLY night stops except two there&backs. You work hard but you work ONLY on one type of aeroplane (737/300-400-500) and the service is so easy!!
Club loads are reasonable, you always have the time to sit down, eat, and socialise!
Moneywise, you can see how much you can expect to earn on the intranet every month, and I have to say for a junior crew (like me) 1400-1500£ a month are very likely if you know how to bid!!!
Carmen is also very compassionate to new entrants, and many new entrants are getting what they want.
You probably work harder than at Heathrow (but things will change there now that Willie Walsh takes over) but Gatwick is a smaller base, and promotion is also quick. they're recruiting for pursers now. The atmosphere on board is also very relaxed, albeit professional.
If you want/need any details feel free to PM me. I am really looking forward to sitting on the jumpseat next to you, we really appreciate new, happy and enthusiastic people. You'll soon realise how good BA is compared to other UK or european airlines, whether at LHR or LGW!
Take care for now!
FBW
