We get abused on, and are banned from the other thread for daring to state that it isn't that hard to be member of cabin crew - in any role.
I know cabin crew who have done CC work on their gap year because it's a cheap way of doing what they want to do - travel. They have degrees and are more qualified than half of the muppets that now "run" BASSA.
Unfortunately, the old guard that run BASSA don't give a
about the people that have joined BA CC in the last five or ten years.
Look forward 30 years? Give me a break, they can't look past their next lucky break. If the job was that
and they could get one that paid that well and had added bonuses like partying a lot and lots of duty free, they would have taken it.
Time to give the jobs to people that deserve it, rather than the people who have frankly got so tired and expectant that they think they can do what they like and still get a wage packet that would satisfy people far more capable and interested.
The old hand BA cabin crew were bringing BA down a lot earlier than credit crunches and volcanic ash clouds.
