Interesting comment you made on page 1 expressing concern that airlines such as Emirates could put your airline, and others, out of business. I think you should look at the damage your union did several years back which almost cost you and another 45,000 employees their jobs. The same union that's now pushing bus drivers to strike for an extra 500 quid simply because they'll be working harder during the olympics! Unite? What an oxymoron that is. Divide more like! If that's their mentality, Gulf carriers are better off without them. As for your subsidy statement, you're so far wide of the mark it's not funny. A disappointing comment, especially so coming from a moderator!
To take home 1600 pound sterling per month, you'd need to earn 25,000 per annum before tax. Whilst not a huge amount, for a single 23 yr old with accommodation provided, all bills paid, uniform provided and transport to and from work, that's a pretty good starting salary. Not bad for a non unionised workforce.
Perhaps those concerned with the plight of our abused slaves could enlighten us as to the starting salary of BA cabin crew?
