Have the crew actually been balloted for strike action?.

I work for BA,meet loads of you VS crew downroute and think you're a great bunch.I've also had the privilege of flying with you and your're hard working and deliver good service.

I hope it does'nt come to a strike and you get a 'fair' and just pay rise.Stick to your guns and SRB may stop telling you how good you are verbally and show it in your pay.

Good luck to you all.

WTDWL.

PS. REALWORLD. As you were crew should should know that the job is NOT 95% easier that other jobs.Like swans we're very smooth above the water(the cabin) but under the water(galley area etc) our little legs are working hard. Yes we get layovers but we also get jetlagged 5-6 times a month and far too many x-rays at 35000 feet!!.
It is said long haul crew live 7 years less than the average.Never read it myself but it is common knowledge.
There again it could be too much Bacardi in my case


PSS. If the job was so easy why did you leave!!?>
