I'm not sure that slanging matches between BA flight and cabin crew help.
BA flight and cabin crews seem to have an icy history anyway - perhaps envy on each side. From an outsider's point of view, and having read a lot in the press and on the net on the BA issue, it seems that both the pilots and cabin crews want, want, want. Times have changed and flying is a glorified bus service nowadays, but the flight and cabin staff seem to be kidding themselves otherwise, and cannot accept that they will have to work both harder and longer to justify the low prices their company are offering (£199 to JFK return for me next Feb).
