Tiramisu and flyinspanner - are you both full time, WW CSDs? If you are then you're not getting your fair share of the good trips! The CSD payslip I'm looking at right now has a basic a shade over £40K and a gross taxable year to date for the last tax year in excess of £50K, which of course means the true gross is even higher still. So some CSDs are earning that sort of cash. When does your incremental pay scale stop?
qwertyuiop - welcome. Perhaps you could tell us what the market rate is for a B744 captain in the UK? And could you explain why an acquaintance of mine who was BA cabin crew and is now a BA cabin crew manager earns less than she did as crew? Doesn't seem like she's overpaid.
