As the partner of a BA cabin crew member, who has had to live with this profession for almost 30 years, I can honestly say that he works hard and does the best that can be done. If he gets paid well, then he has earned it by working well and getting as far as he can in what is a profession.
Anyone who has worked well for that length of time can expect to be appreciated and paid accordingly.
