i am really sory crib.... but i will disagree on thhat with you!!!! having worked with both airlines i can now say how easy is to work longhaul with ba.... you do your first service....drinks and no small change 1 and 2 p's you do your hot bits and for a long range flight the csd allocates your break which can be up to 3 hours and when you come back the rest of the crew go for theirs while you are at the galley or do water rounds... and when they all return you do your second service...in monarch you d do drinks followed by hot meals....followed by duty free ...followed by scratchcards followed by more drinks cos you have to sell sell sell!! and when you had a chance to sit down then the drystores would be yourseat! thanks but i dont call this as a lot easier:-)good luck to everyone
