I have to say I read the posts from BA crew and I really laugh. I do admire you for wanting to hang onto to your terms and conditions. However if it is really true that your senior flight attendants are getting paid £50-60k then something needs to change. The cost of oil is going to really damage your business moving forward and everyone is going to have to take a little bit of pain.
People can stick their head in the sand all they want but the cost of oil will catch up with everyone soon and only the strongest will survive, there are no guarantees who that will be.
