In a perfect world I would like to change this thread's title to Do LHR-based BA cabin crew pull their weight. It's all about you guys!
While I believe that once on board we do all work really hard, our agreement at LGW is completely different. With the introduction of fixed links we can have only a 45 min. turnaround at LGW in between a 12hr double.
I don't remember the last time I walked to Jubilee house in between my sectors. It must have been months ago.
If we get delayed we don't miss our next leg because we have to have a minimum turnaround at base. Non-planned fixed links (i.e. because of a delay) become a rush between the two planes, most times running across the terminal or to the other side of the bridge (BA have sacked 80% of our bus drivers).
So I would be grateful if you guys could keep us out of all of that. We suffer enough as it is - we will also lose the last crew member and go on CAA minimum crew very soon, while promoting and offering ppl to upgrade to Club at the same time!!!!!!!)
BA isn't just LHR, but reading here once again, unfortunately, it feels like it is.
However what I find totally shocking is the apparent attitudes expressed by both CC & FD too each other when you all allsupposed to be working as one big team.I find it unbelieveable that neither party has any appreciation for what the other roles do.I guess theres no chance of what happens at Virgin with CC sleeping with FD all the time if you dont even like each other professionally at BA.
Rescue....you are great
