From a passengers point of view, my concern is that i cannot see in 5 years BA offering the same standard of cabin service when the pay for new crew is less than the 'waste operatives' emptying my Bins and working at my local dump.
This would be a concern if service from LGW was significantly worse than from LHR. It's not because it isn't. In fact, IME, service from LGW can be much
better than from LHR for the reasons
oldbird suggests.
