- joined as CC straight from school, over 10 years ago, and saw BA as a "career" for life
- benefits from being on a part time contract
- can afford the expense and time of commuting from Dover to LHR
I think you will find that MissM joined BA over 15 years ago!
Most of the crew who joined before '97 are on the old contract and usually on part time too - they earn more money than those who joined post '97 and are full-time.
But - that's the way it was!
