Ive been at work sick as a dog in the air, and ive been at work sick as a dog on the ground, and i would choose ground anyday.
I cant agree with this more. Having spent three years on the ground working both at a desk and in a less than waterproof uniform coat on the apron throughout several Irish winters, it is a lot easier to report for work when on the ground. The conditions on the ground are nothing compared to that in the air where the air is dry, the cabin is pressurised and everyone can see you wiping your nose!
I have only been sick twice since I joined BA. On one of those occasions it was a bank hoiday, Heaven forbid!!! I was violently ill at the time yet still got called several weeks later to "explain" why I had been sick over a bank holiday!!!
Its unusualy how this company works!!!
