Why is everything on this site about BA always negative. Wheather it starts off postivie it always ends up negative. At the end of the day, I'm glad to be working for BA. No doubt things will have to change but be warned, not one member crew will accept a pay cut. I, along with many others are open minded with regards to new payments of allowancews but it needs to be done fairly and properly. Not like a few months ago where it was rushed and BA were feeding us with lies about the tax man. Conditions may change, which at the end of the day may be a good thing with regards to loosing trips, extra sectors etc. However, BASSA will put their foot down if things get out of hand. I've previously worked for two airlines where the unions have been absolutely useless. It's good to see a union with a bit of strength and teamwork.

I'm not one of there so called people who won't do anything for the company as it's "not part of my contract" as I definately would help them out. I'm sure the company recognise this and a situation will arise where both the crew and company are happy. It's always best not to pi@@ off your mainlie staff as this could have an awful affect in the long run. BA know this already as shown through their recent behaviour.

pollypocket you are so right......

people that put posts on here making out we are born with a silver spoon in our mouth and don't know what hard work is make me laugh.

I came from bmi, so believe me I KNOW what hard work is. Most of my collegues at BA have come from other airlines as well such as Easyjet, Virgin, Mytravel etc etc. We all know we have got it good and I believe give our worth back to BA in loyalty and hard work.

Sadly that view is a minority one keeper. You won't find many attitudes like that when the Windsor Witches are walking off the flight because its one minute beyond their industrial agreement, stranding a jumbo load of passengers in the process. And that is probably the root of the problem.

Yes I agree, there are a few people out there with the
"industrial agreements" so far up their a@@e that they can recite it backwards. However, the majority are flexible and are willing to help the company if neccessary. I've seen this many times during my year at BA and rarely see the opposite. As peope say, it has changed alot and the majority know that further changes will be iminent. It's a fact of BA life that we, as crew, have known since I've been at BA. Perhaps even longer. I'm glad to have a job with BA, as I'm sure most are. When things happen we will let you know.
