Even more so, I was on the LHR-MIA flight the other week and saw a whole bunch of cabin crew with silver bag tags. How does that work? I've started noticing this more and more with BA cabin crew with these days.

Is it a perk of the job?

You can't earn status on non-rev flights and I doubt BA cabin crew would fly rev-fare for leisure.

Just an observation.
