FlyBlue, you and I both know what we are worth.. .Our companies show what they believe we are worth by paying us a good salary.. .When we're out flying, by and large there is in both our companies a large dose of mutual respect and friendliness between cockpit- and cabin crew.. .The ppruners I have met in person and of whom I know for a fact that they are pilots, all have the same point of view re. our various roles in the business of transporting pax from A to B in a safe and comfortable manner.. .Ergo, I don't care what kind of silly rubbish is spouted on here by alleged pilots.
Now back to the thread. In Norwegian we have the word "synsing". Means "the propounding of views which are not backed up by any facts but based on one's gut-feelings".. .There's a lot of synsing on this thread.
Cabin service between different airlines often gets compared by looking how many FA's per how many pax.
What I'd be very interested in knowing is how the various European majors compare on "how many office staff per howm many seat kilometers"
Is there anyone out there in PPRuNe land who is in possession of these numbers, or more appropriate ones, regarding BA and other big European Airlines? . .So that we can argue based on some hard facts instead of drown in "sysnsing".
