Superboy,
Perhaps I was a bit strong and I apologise. However to say that LHRWW earn three times as much is pushing a bit far.
Before the massive recruitment to cover the new SF maincrew were earning about 1200-1400 on average a month. You have to understand that at the moment the wages are not normal (as I said further down my post).
Don't know who you have been speaking to but maincrew at LHR do not earn 3600 per month.
Speaking to some of the temp WW people on my flight the other day, they came up with the figure of around 1800-2200 on an exceptional month. Working things out in my head I would expect maincrew to earn between 1300-1600 once and I repeat once all the routes come over. You must be able to live on that.
"like working for BA, the people are fantastic and I enjoy it tremendously but If you saw my pay slips you would understand why I am not as happy as I and so many others could be. I'm not asking for very much but hey I've only been at BA for a few seconds so I guess I'm not entitled to anything."
So what are you asking for? If it is continual long haul then you have to understand two things;
1. All the new people have to be kept current on the B777 so trips will be limited.
2. Being a base that has preferential bidding, newer people will never acheive a 100% hit rate on their bids.
I know that is not what you want to hear but it is the unfortunate truth.
BTW, did you report the GVA hotel?
