Weathermap has told us:
i also know of crew who have been teachers, dentists and doctors before joining BA
Leaving the teachers aside, I find Weathermap's assertion totally preposterous and utterly incredible.
An NHS-only dentist (a
very rare creature) earns north of £80,000 p.a. My NHS GP earns £120,000 p.a.
Why should anyone who (a) already has an earning capacity far in excess of the most senior CSD's wildest dreams or (b) has devoted at least six years to his/her professional education stoop to be a BA flight attendant? Do you honestly believe that they would take such a salary sacrifice?
C'mon, Weathermap! We were not all born yesterday, you know.
