Why do they have a problem with being cabin crew?
Yes - I agree they are highly intelligent and trained individuals who's skills will be going to waste.
But - if your going to get the same pay but just in a different job then surely that's not so bad?
I'm sure there are plenty on the dole queue who would have jumped at a similar opportunity at their old jobs so they could keep paying the mortgage.
If BA are going back on written agreements then that is wrong, however if they offering you an opportunity to carry on flying (and doing an important job might I add - imagine all those pax who would love to hear all your Concorde stories) on your current pay, then I reckon you've got not a bad deal.
Anyone know how much FE's make a year? Doubt there are many juniort cabin crew in any airline on that kinda dosh. (Apart from the managers that have been sitting at home who have also realised what a cushy number it is and are also taking up the offer)
Whatever happens - I wish em all the best!
Good luck!
