I think there is a slight confusion here, CC do indeed work hard for their wages, it is not easy money. Indeed I doubt whether there are really any really easy money jobs anymore, if there are then there is some appalling management out there.
However, it is also a truism that at BA the CC do receive particularly good remuneration and that many (certainly not all) would not be able to get a job elsewhere that would allow them to take home as much money. What is slightly galling is that there is little recognition amongst the CC community that there are in a fortunate position where they have a job that requires little formal pre-employment training nor significant post employment training in comparison to other similar remuneration jobs.
There is, amongst some (by no means a majority) of crew, a belief that they are entitled to their high salaries and that they are the best merely because they work for BA. Some of them are the best, but there is a significant number of free loaders that resent passengers and only care about box payments and bunk rest.
