Pinkaroo, as CM has said, whether or not I would get out of bed for £1800 a month is totally irrelevant. Just as a point of interest I have, in my formative years, worked for far less whilst trying to obtain the qualifications required to do the job I do today.
The amount you get paid is relevant to the level of job you do, nothing more nothing less. As there are many other companies with CC operating for far less than BA then the company will see your pay as an opportunity to cut excess costs. Sorry but that is the way of business.
I am certain that CC would not want to be paid the same as OCS cleaners? But they work on the aircraft don't they? WW doesn't get paid the same as the pilots even though he is also a pilot does he. Horses for courses. Responsibility tied to re-numeration.
This adjustment is necessary albeit, due to the poor negotiating skills of BASSA over the past 10 years, a painful one.
Hopefully we will see an acceptable outcome and thus can continue to have these little discussions in the future on Pprune rather than in the dole queue.
