BA Cabin Crew

In the last 30 years, I had more flying hours than most crews achieve within the same period. My company preferred us, if possible, to fly BA. Most of us, if we could wangle it, flew on anything but BA. Reason, if you were First class, they would fawn over you, if you were Club, they would put up with you, but heaven forbid if you were Economy, they just ignored you. I was traveling back from the US into LHR in the late 80's and I was reading a novel by Brian Lecomber, an aerobatic flyer at one time with the Rothmans Team, and his opening paragraph in his third novel started with the words "I was flying on the worlds most arrogant airline" Anybody who ever read the book new immediately which airline he was referring to. It always summed up the We Fly, To Serve motto as I always found them to be the worst when it came to service on board, I much preferred Dan-Air, Laker and Virgin to anything BA served up.
