Yep, BA has gone down the toilet recently. It used to be the case that they were a cut above the rest, now it's not worth paying the premium.

Had a few boozy evenings with BA cabin crew when working in Singapore recently.

It was always the case that the crew were the best paid and most regarded in the business with pretty consistent routes given to them, you had to work hard to get in and get on. Trouble is, it resulted in them being very over paid and with large benefits which became a burden to BA and impacted on their competitiveness.

As a result they changed the setup and have largely moved to a cheaper model where the crew get random routes, no major benefits, pretty low allowances for living (the hotel paid for on a stop over and about £25 a day to live on) and lower wages.

The result of course is poorer service.

But not with flight crew, we didn't drink, and if we did, were very fussy with whom.
