C'mon guys, us cabin crew didn't make the rules. It's not our fault the company don't work us efficently! It's human nature to do as little as possible, and if the company has laid out these rules and agreements for us why wouldn't and shouldn't we fight to keep them. Why should we work one crew member down when it says we shouldn't have to? We'd be stupid if we did. In the end everybody wants an easy life. That's not to say we don't do our job well when we're actually doing it, but why do you think we choose to work for BA over BMI or a low cost carrier or charter...I can tell you why I do...Because it's a cushy little number that pays me well so I don't want for anything, we have excellent agreements, and it's status working for the countries flag carrier.
P.S. To all you crew out there who make out we have it hard, I think you need to take a good look at what we've actually got!!! It isn't that bad at all! And good on you all who fight to keep it!
