The pay after 33 years is rubbish

If you can get the same elsewhere after just 6-7 years (income in V income out) then yes it is - totally..!!!!!!

Have you just joined BA Bangerman?

(Sorry Bangerman - I'm just bored in the CPH First lounge waiting for one of your 320's to pick me up.)
Truth is, despite what you may want to hear, BA is a good employer. I am not a new joiner, I have been in for some years but not yet at PP24. Even though I have not reached that level I am still paid a sh1tload of money doing a job I enjoy with professional and personable colleagues.

The tax I pay is not really much to do with my employer, but where I CHOOSE to live. If all I was interested in grabbing as much cash as I could I may go and work in the Gulf for the benevolent operators there, or I could just live in a country with low taxes.

I CHOOSE not to be a tax dodger (avoider), I CHOOSE to stay with my present employer and I CHOOSE my work which, when allocated, ends up being the work I actually do because I have immense roster stability.

So, did you "not get in?"
