Jet II – You are totally mistaken! (going off thread here) – My missus is a doctor too . She takes home £1950 pcm – for a totally shattering 72 hours a week – far less than the top third of BA cabin crew. ( who can nett over £4000 pcm). Methinks there is a slight difference in knowledge skill and responsibility too! BW Briscoe has a valid point .
GwynM – You should know - It’s a fact that “sickness” is a big problem at BA . They certainly have trouble providing the cabin crew to operate planned flights during Ascot , Henley and Wimbledon weeks. I am not aware of any poor statistics for the ground staff though – just cabin crew.
