we are simply the best
OK, lets address this for a moment shall we.
Some BA cabin crew are indeed the best, some are quite frankly bloody terrible. Overall you come out somewhat average in my experience, which I am sad to say actually - it's a shame, I'm British and would quite like my national carrier to be the best.
Do you fly BA, as a passanger, and with your rivals regularly, I do....
I have been on some flights, BA and others, when I would have been better off with no crew and a vending machine frankly.
A better approach to all this agro would have been to raise your game lots, raise your employers revenue then go in saying "look what we did" -
Then argue for changes to T's&C's...
