Surely with BA having to pay your flight hours whilst you are sleeping in the bunks
Of course the crew don't get 'paid' whilst in the bunks do they? Neither do the crew get any rest on those 2 flight crew sectors either do they? Oh.... hang on.....
What's your point?
Heavy crew members do the same as the rest of the flight crew, you are all 'a crew'. Very occasionally flight crew will 'swap' return sectors to get longer/shorter at the destination. Wonderful flexibility at no cost to BA. Keep up the bidline expertise.
One suggestion for flight crew saving money is to double up as cabin crew. What a fantastic idea. I'd be up for that.
Let's face it the training wouldn't take long.
To add to the post above I have also noticed a distinct lack of audited figures from BASSA as requested long ago by one of their members. When did BASSA last submit audited accounts to Unite I wonder?
More smoke and mirrors to come from the usual suspects. Perhaps they can provide a link?
