I'd be trying to organise getting us airborne and they'd be phoning the DOM trying to get off the aircraft.
Can anyone who works in BA shorthaul deny they haven't witnessed this?
Nevermind,
I do, it has not happened on my flights.
Infact, only recently we worked over the legal limits from a certain outstation and all the cabin crew left it between the Captain and myself to decide if we were returning home(Captain of course used discretion).
Our duty day for a there and back was in excess of 16 hrs for a shorthaul flight. There was no contacting the Union and we all returned home safely but weary, and everyone was relieved to get back especially our customers.
No extra payments were demanded except for overtime generated.
I don't want to generalise. This normally happened on only 90% of occasions!
You mean on 10% of occasions!
I'm BA cabin crew and the above represent my thoughts and not those of my employer.
