Concorde Crew
Crew on Concorde at BA were either "Lifers" who were always on it or others who were interviewed and selected to fly it for a two or three year period.
It was shorthaul fleet (believe it or not) and crew who flew it were also 757 and A320 crew! One day you could be on the Supersonic 002 from JFK and the next day you were doing a MAN shuttle!
Crew compliment of 6 (CSD, PUR and 4 main crew)
Very hot to work on, cramped galleys (one at rear ane mid cabin).
Doors baked in heat rather than being cold on a normal a/c. This was due to the speed and air friction.
No trollies on board, all delivered by hand.
Trip patterns were two days long for a JFK return with 24 hours there.
Weekly BGI on Sat, you either positioned out or back on 777 from LGW and operated the other way. Flight time to BGI 4 hours or so. If winds strong fuel stop at Cape Verde islands.
Crew wore hats and silver concorde badges that other crew didnt. Old uniform we had blue badges for everyone so the silver ones stood out.
Hot hot hot to work on! Always wiping each others faces dry before going into cabin!
The charters were fun, when you went somewhere different and off network where crew were treated like celebrities! Signing autographs for people just because you were Concorde Cabin Crew! Weird.
Cheers
