Bumblebee - EoG crew terms and conditions may be more competitive than those of mainline but there's still a lot of hidden costs to the company not immediately obvious from the BALPA salary comparisons. For example, in these difficult times, why are the CFE crews now being swamped with masses of crew food which they don't have time to eat? I know the prevous management was pretty stingy on the food side but the pendulum has now swung far too far in the opposite direction. Why has much of the hotac been changed to more expensive, off airport hotels? Could it be because BA pilots insist that on full rest (as opposed to split duty) nightstops airport hotels are not acceptable, even 5* ones? It seems to me that there are problems all over BA, and if each individual group, be they pilots, cabin crew, engineers, managers or whatever continue to insist that 'its not our fault, its everyone else' there's little chance of getting BA fixed.
