Twice as much as Virgin appearently http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle6466748.ece they also all get a very cushy pension, unfortunately it looks like it'll never be paid http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...-deficit-rises

As goes BA, so goes the UK, our economy really is in the toilet!

Hmmm most full time postal workers in Australia earn more than 57,000 Aud per year..... Circa 29,000 quid.

And BA want to pay them less than that ?

Isnt Virgins average of 14,400 pounds below the minimum UK wage ?

Plus the pension is up the Kyber.... I dont think I'd want to work for them either.

Good Luck UK

Minimum wage in the UK is £5.80ph x 40 hours x 48 weeks is about 11 grand.

As for the UK, its a sinking ship, time to make like a rat!

Have you looked into transferring your pension? I'm no expert but think I'd be looking at the options.

Cabin crew pay is lousy, and Virgin are among the worst. What makes it worthwhile is the allowances - extra pay per flight, extra pay for every night-stop etc. Its not the sort of job you want to do just on the basic money.
