BA Staff Benefits

PC767 wrote:
Virgin are recruiting for cabin crew.

Here's the deal.

- a basic salary of £11,564; trip pay, plus on board commission.
- one of the best travel concession schemes in the industry offering up to 7 free of charge tickets per year (tax only to be paid)
- life assurance
- pension scheme
- income protection insurance
- medical benefit plan
- season ticket loans.

BA's offer that new fleet would be Virgin plus 10% seems fictious.

BA Mixed fleet - £11,000 pa; £2.40 ph flight pay....................
Your posts are getting increasingly less credible. Are you a BA employee as you claim to be? If so, then you are staggeringly ignorant of the benefits which BA staff have, which include:
  • Unlimited standby travel on BA and qualifying airlines six months after joining
  • BA pension (a defined contribution scheme)
  • Salary sacrifice for childcare and pension
  • Educational sponsorship
  • Childcare discount (the first £243 pm spent on childcare through care-4 are free from both tax and National Insurance contributions
  • Nursery discounts
  • Cargo concession (a limit of a total of 250 kg per annum)
  • Online shopping discounts from over 1,200 retailers
  • Reduced cost for private medical* and dental insurance plans
  • Discounts on motor insurance, car hire, etc
*includes Eyecare, Dental, Surgical appliance, Accidents, Recuperation, Hearing aids, Specialist consultation/tests, In-patient cash, Complementary therapies, Health screening
