Further to my above post, most new entrants {and not so new } can't afford to live in the SE of England any more on BA salaries and have moved to cheaper locations { like France and Spain} where it is possible to live relatively well. What is your solution? Stop paying 60K a year to pushback drivers, 50K a yr to some longhaul cabin crew, 250 K a yr to R.E, or 50K a yr to me?
