Keeperboy I like your attitude. Some changes might be for the better, it's up to you all to fight for them though. Be tough, give up something but do try to get something equally important for you in return.
I love my lifestyle at LGW, (although I haven't tried BA's LH ops yet) I like the fact I can bid whether to do trips or stay in the country, whether to have certain days off and I like the fact I can call anytime and get a leave day for the following day. Not once have I been told it was not available. I can change my leave around after the rosters have been published to make it suit me better and so on.
Yes we earn less and have got ongoing issues, but for all the money in the world I wouldn't like to have a deal like the WW one where you struggle to get your 2 requests per year. There's life outside work for many of us, I adore my job but my personal like is much more important, takes precedence over anything else and I am happy that I can achieve a good life/work balance doing what I love most.
We are considered the "poor" BA crew, but we're not that poor, really, if you consider all the things as a whole
