sixmilehigh club you ain't talking reality.
I work for bmi, my bf BA, as is our lodger (both on the 'new contract'). We are both on short-haul.
I take home on average £1200.00 per month.
He takes home on average about £1600 a month but with overtime can take home £2000+. our lodger likewise.
While he enjoys his 10 days off per month (plus his 'non-op' days) I get 8.
When I am doing my Palma/Brussels double he is probably on his mandatory 2.5 hour 'break' at Compass or the CAT lounge. In the last year he has been rostered FOUR doubles....in a YEAR. I do four doubles a week!
And after I do that 12 hour double Palma/Brussels, I get 12 hours off before going into to do an equally delightful duty. God forbid my bf doing a 12.5 hour day, but if he has to he is entitled to 18 hours rest.
So PLEASE sixmilehighclub. Don't take us for idiots. What you are saying is totally untrue.
And to the rest of you PLEASE don't take this as a slating to BA crew or your conditions. You guys and gals are so lucky, I wish we had the same! We all wish we had BASSA at bmi!!
