HiFlyer14, you stated "Yes CFC we can all pick and choose an article from a paper supporting whatever we want to believe. After all, we all earn £29000 don't we??"

The 'article' I think you are referring to is actually the data published independently by the UK CAA. The data has been published annually, since 1994, I think.

It shows the cost of employing the employees. So it includes Pension, National Insurance, Uniform, Training etc.

So just so that you are aware, it says on average it costs BA around £29000 to employ each Cabin Crew member. Not, that all earn £29000.

However, it also highlights that it costs BA twice the amount it costs Virgin to employ its Cabin Crew.

As we are paid as Air Cabin Crew, and hence can reasonably be expected to go flying, there is no way that our remuneration is 'minimum wage', as some of my colleagues have been saying that it is.
