Offstand i would never slap you, you might enjoy it!!!! lol!!!! banewboi yawn and yawn again same old story from people who can never see past the M25 you are right in saying that we are sort of run as seperate companies but the bottom line is that BA ultimately pay my wages and yours. we all fly around on aircraft that are in the same colours, and from the customer point of view they dont see the difference!! we are all cabin crew at the end of the day regardless of base or contract maybe its time to take your head out of the sand.
