You'll only fly less than 900 hours in BA if you are a manager!

No seriously, they do work the longhaul guys hard, but they are not ALL at 900 hours every year. They work the shorthaul guys hard too. Remember some of that 900 hours is asleep, so it cannot be directly compared with 900 hours shorthaul. That's not to say they don't wark hard.

The things above I would agree with, although not in the same volume. They are about to nick half our pension, and we do have frustrations as litsted above, but they exist elsewhere too. I didn't belive that my pension was safe from the moment I discovered I was one of the last to join. I will do what I can to protect it, but I don't hold out much faith.

I spoke to a Virgin FO the other day down route. I suggested their 750 hour limit was better than the BA 900 hour limit. He then came up with a list of things that were better in BA. Result: Grass is Greener. Just make sure you know what you are getting into.
