Desertia, your post sums up the current situatin perfectly. I wish that the CC masses that are being taken this very dangerous path were aware these facts. I get the impression the BA communications/
PR departments are gearing up for a wave leters/press releases.
Glamgirl, you have correctly (again, I believe) stated that the £11,000 is STARTING basic and has the annoying £8,000 of allowances to be added as well, so £19,000 statring salary - not too shabby afterall. But yet again, BASSA have spun it that cabin crew are on salaries akin to the poverty line.
Let us try and keep this debate factual rather than fill it with BASSA fiction.
