Hi,
Have just started flying with BA and I am getting a bit worried about the money to be honest. The basic after tax is about £600 a month, and my flying allowances for Sept are a predicted £390. I have been quite busy this month so far with some lots of 3 sector days, and even a 4 sector one and if all this work is for peanuts then I'm gonna be out of here pretty soon.
I used to work for EK and the money was better there (with free accommodation and transport. We also had allowances of about £70 for 24 hours in the UK for example, something we don't get with BA). The flight pay at BA id a ridiculous £2.30 an hour, and at LGW that's all you get. Oh, and a free breakfast (at the moment but this might change soon) on stopovers.
Does anyone else feel the same? I haven't even joined a union yet as they don't seem to be doing anything apart from taking £12 a month from us (come on guys, are you kidding??).
My morale is going downwards pretty quickly. Pity as I love my job.
