Well as noone else replied, here goes. I dont work for them (BA)but girlfriend is purser on the 767. Destinations ok and hotels seem good (generally same as BA/VS). Aircraft are mobile tech delays tho, the number of serious problems/airborne returns this summer is unbelievable. With that comes roster instability. Crewing do their best but rosters often have notes giving earlier report times (which of course dont then trigger the programs FTL protection). Some fairly unpleasant duties like operate LGW-StKitts - Tobago then position Barbados 16 hrs off fly home via MAN. Some flight crew have apparantly exceeded 3hrs discretion on ops say so but then have been left to carry the can with CAA. Flight crew seem generally pleasant with a few disgruntled exceptions. Cabin Crew young and keen. Its a mixed picture and agood way to get a good type but I would go elsewhere if you have a choice
