Blu riband, totally untrue.
Sharing a crew hotel in Africa and with this thread in mind, I recently compared renumerations and conditions with a BA CSD.
She earned slightly more than I do, and I work slightly less than she did.
Came out at about the same.
Only difference was that the BA system appeared VASTLY more complicated than ours.
Unlike BA, we have a fixed monthly salary, do 24 hour stops at most of our worldwide destinations and the
only money on top of our salary is the daily allowance which covers food down route and varies according to the expensiveness of the station where we slip.
