cabin crew pay

Within BA there are different rules for different fleets regarding over-time payments. In my case the clock starts after 12 1/2 hrs. So very often the hour wait for a bus to disembark the aircraft does not trigger over-time. On the rare occassion when it does somebody somewhere within Waterworld has figured that financially the cost of over-time is cheaper than the cost of running an efficient operation and repairing a failing reputation.

To my pilot colleagues - good luck, you have my support.
To my management colleagues - time to take the eye mask (1st class) off and see what is really happening. A catalogue of disputes, legal action and now the t5 debacle. How ridiculous, immediately after the world watched t5 melt-down do you look when you announce you will sue a section of your employees for bringing the brand into disripute. You simply could not make this up.

I repeat other poster's messages. Sue and sack yourselves first.
