Let's be clear here: it's not BA's responsibility to afford their crew a nice car and their own flat in a crew preferred suburb such as Richmond, Chiswick, Kew, etc. Just because they have in the past it doesn't mean they are obliged to in the future.

PS Do you have a source for that average cost of car insurance? Nobody I know is paying anything like that except for under 25 males.
Of course I do - and by the way, who are we recruiting onto MF, under 25 year olds???
