Re: Willie Walsh's CC plans
I've been reading all these comments on how well above standards BA crews are treated, and I must say that:
-we have agreements that are quite similar to most major airlines(AF,UAL LH)
-we tend to have better work conditions that UK low cost carriers but the money we take home isn't much higher.
-I flew seasonally for AF and had about 18 days off a month, flew 9 yrs for UAL and averaged 16 days off a month, now fly for BA and have 10 days off a
month (for about the same take home money)
Conclusion:BA CC don't have it sooo nice and easy as some pilots like to think.
Also why does it bother you so much what sort of agreement we have or not have?At the end of the day I clear about 1700£/month and have 2 more days off than an office worker.I really don't see what it is that's so shocking about that .Maybe you should think outside the box ,and admit that, on the job market, a bilingual college graduate could end up with a much higher salary.
