Jettesson,
Where the hell did you get your facts? BA does not sack people at the drop of a hat, they didnt sack anyone after 9/11 and no cabin crew have been let go as of late except for people who have not managed to get through the training! Longhaul ex LHR earn a lot of money, more than Virgin or easyjet, we have pensions and some excellent benefits. As for the ground staff, that was only 1000 loaders and not check in or anyother customer service staff. I have worked in the Middle East I certainly would NOT recommend it, you are not looked after by emirates and if you think that you are fooling yourself. More people get quietly and systematically shoved out of emirates and other middle eastern airlines than BA lose in retirements!!!
You obviously failed the BA interview with an attitude like that!
