Pros

- Good route network and chance to travel to many destinations - Thorough cabin crew training. - Although pay is not great for current mixed fleet crew your job with BA can feel relatively secure as they are not generally laying people off.

Cons

- Disorganisation/impersonal feel of the company - Lack of individual employee recognition. - Bad pay and conditions for mixed fleet, which provided a bad market rate pay in comparison to other low cost airlines including Easyjet. - The vast differences between the fleets making it feel like you all do the same job but get treated differently.

Pros

Flight Benefits staff travel, for the position we make much more than US based airlines.

Cons

Vacation time given, Flight benefits are no good, with only 10 days off a year and on top of that you have to work every holiday. No extra time given for working holidays. Management is not consistent business managers monitor the agents, they do not monitor their supervisors. Their supervisors sit around and get paid to do nothing. Plus jobs being outsourced to India, when the US brings a lot of revenue for BA with their longhaul flights loads to the US, plus higher US fares.
