A and C
I`ve only been at BA for a short time but when issues regarding T&C salaries come up the cabin crew are always out to be hammered.. .I know there are the "Old" contract crews which do earn high salaries, and if you or anyone else feel the need to comment on cabin crew`s why not use the term Old contract cabin crew, because the new contract crew do not earn huge amounts.. .My basic salary is just over £9000 pa. Yes the allowances are good, but need to be, and only there when we are at work. . .Now, leading on from this crew have to live no more than 1hr 30 mins from their base. Based in the Southeast-LHR/LGW, I`d love to know where I could live/buy a place to live for £27,000. (£9K @ 3X salary).. .If T&C are erroded away, I have seen the results.. .Short staffed, crews don`t give a dam, higher training costs, staff turn over greater, which makes a company very unattractive to work for, in what ever industry. In the end all departments are effected, by inexperience at all levels. . .The UK 2nd airlines suffers all these problems, and after well over 10 years there, could give examples of not how to treat staff/crews.. .I am NOT getting at anyone in particular. It just others reading this think BA cabin crew earn wonderful amounts-on new contract its livable (for me), but there again I brought over 15 years ago, and live in the South Midlands.. .BA is/was the airline which crew inspired too, because the way the work force is treated.
