The breaks Carnage is trying to refer to , are the ODD occasion during the month when the crew go back to Compass or a central area lounge we have for a 40min - 80 min on average break.
These occur in between links, eg ARN-LHR, then LHR-FRA-LHR.
He is making out they are commonplace and waste company time, while they have long been in our contract,and are one of the rare decent things we have left.
Anyone deserves a break,get away from things, refresh,grab something to eat/drink and maybe even sit down momentarily - and these are normally in the middle of long/very long days.
The point i was making is that we dont spend 50% of our lives doing this, and in september my combined 'base turnarounds' came to 115mins, not 80 hours if it was REALLY half my duty.
He obviously doesnt like the fact that cabin crew even try to have a break , or even sit down for a bit and relax , even though he spends 90% of his job sat down.
The whole thread is about BA crew working hard ,and believe me , we darn well do!!!
I have nothing against any flightcrew, the vast majority are fine , but i take great offence when some flight crew member comes along and rubbishes the cabin crew community.
Whatever happened to good CRM??!?
We all know his type, but he has know right to print such utter rubbish
