re ba staff

i am not employed by ba but i have to agree with the staff ,i have been in the airline industry for 12 years and it is about time people started to make a point tha low pay and bad working conditions can no longer go on,unlike many industries we dont get paid overtime so if you do a 20 hour day you only get paid for 12 hours or working on days off you dont get them back and in many cases leave can be cancelled and you have to put up with it. As for making a living yeah you do earn a living in this industry you work your butts off. Oh by the way jtl you try laning a fully ladened 747 with upto 500 souls on board in bad weather knowing that any moment that aircraft could be slammed into tha ground killing everyone on board then you will realise what stress is coz at the end of the day we are here to save your arse not kiss it !!!!!
