GB Airways

GB Airways obviously isn't the best airline to work for, but some of the benefits (BA Concessions) are great. Pay is slighty below average, but the worse aspect is that the staff in the office has gone downhill... Crewing rely on favours due to staff shortage, but will not return these favours to you, apart from the fact that you receive apauling arrogant treatment should you reporting unwell for a flying duty. all this as mentioned previously, due to staff shortage. There is absolutely no recognition towards seniority, and should you decide to initiate a career within this airline, you'll soon feel used and undervalued as they don't recognise your efforts when you decide to apply for promotion. (very false impression within that office).
Therefore, most of the staff working there are very professional, and as you can read in this thread, should you fly with GB, you'll receive good treatment from the crew....but the airline can't keep their valued crew. High turnover of staff ! Rosters are busy with over 90 Block hours per month during the busy summer, but must admit, crew are really friendly within the airline, and you usually have nice days out.
