yachtno1 - I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but when I talk about BA, I am thinking about BA Worldwide Fleet. They operate similar routes to us. BA LGW is a mixed fleet L/H & S/H. BA Worldwide, both new and old contracts are still higher than us! Even the people on the new temp contracts are getting more per flying hour when you take into account al there alowances and trip pay.
I'm not sure of the exact figures, but I've heard rumours that BA get £1200 for a Sydney trip, where as we get £440. This is flight pay and allowances all added together. Please correct me if I am wrong.
