I operated a full 767 to a European destination with 68 pax in Club Europe and 172 in ET without a single empty seat. Four out of seven crew turned up, the rest called from standby without any delay to briefing. Four of my crew were BAASA members about to resign. We arrived at our destination ten minutes ahead of schedule, happy passengers and happy crew.
Just back from a lovely dinner with my crew, all drinks this evening were on me to show my appreciation for coming in to serve our customers.
I am BA cabin crew who is proud to cross the picket line.
