Pinkaroo, if you can't contribute to the debate why post your prejudices against pilots and others, it serves no useful purpose.
What I haven't seen is much in the way of suggestions as to how cc may minimise the pain to themselves, I have seen plenty of "well we are BA cabin crew so how dare anyone else have an opinion" which is pure militant BASSA-speak.
BA cabin crew don't have a monopoly on the job, there are plenty of posters on this forum who work as crew for other companies who know exactly how lucrative the job in BA can be for some.
BTW I am a BA pilot with a small 3-bedroom house, no 'second family' (whatever that is), no shares and I don't play golf, so please don't stereotype us, TVM.
