I'm not a "BA Basher" but I'm sort of bothered to read that this would be better discussed away from public scrutiny on the BASSA forum. It may not intentionally be so, but it smacks of there being something to hide?
For the record, after 25+ years flying down the back for non Flag carriers, the idea of there being any agreement in place that puts me as the Cabin In-Charge on a par with anything more important than the hotel cat is fascinating.
IF (and that's a big IF) this story is true, then it demonstrates IMHO that there is some way for BA to go before they catch up with the LOCO's
