BA CC get good allowances - something not disputed here...
Re £12k basic:
Ottergirl:
Until you fall over and break a leg that is! Then its 12K and like it! Similarly, if BA choose not to work you and leave you at home 'available' then its back to basic. On Annual Leave, basic again. Standby but not used, you guessed it! The point is, the 12K is the only part you can rely on
So, as a pax, from the outside looking in you are saying that if you do not do any flights you get paid £12k. So, do no work = £12k, the top up to your pay depends on the work you do... where do I sign up - I'm free to do nothing on my days off?!!
A slightly simplistic musing I agree, but one that kind of screams out at you and it isn't really a great defence when you use it to counter people who state BA CC are
on average much better paid than other CC...
