No BA cabin crew earn £60k basic.
To make that figure, they would have to be earning a considerable amount in allowances from actually working. BA will simply reduce their earning capacity by 'ring-fencing' the higher paying/more popular trips for newer recruits.
And incidentally, the once 'high earners' won't be "sitting at home", they will actually be working harder, spending a lot more time on the East coast of the US/Arabian Gulf (not B2B's), because that is all that will be left!
Which in the longer term is good news for those on £10k basic, as they will see much more of the better destinations.
It didn't have to be this way, but that is what the union have achieved!
