So, just out of interest then.. is it still worth anyone joining British Airways as cabin crew on a 'new' contract? It appears to me that most allowances for any airline are taxed at a lower rate anyway, so isn't it better to get more in allowances rather than a higher basic salary? In my experience, a small minority of flightcrew would have you believe that they earn hundreds of thousands of pounds, but with taxation the way it is in this country, if you go over a certain threshold, you effectively 'lose' a third of your salary anyway and is it really worth it..?
