Do inform some of us of the gap between the UK published living wage and BA avg, wage. Pls disregard the other "hardships and unique features" of their jobs. We all have those....
firstly, I’m not from the UK not do I live there. Simply fairly informed. That said, to save you google, the gap is 10-20% depending on where you live.

Actually, the 15 years are wrong. From 1910 and until 2005-2010 each generation has successively enjoyed better rights, conditions and pay. So it is not cyclical.

BA is often cited to pay 16-21k per annum. 18k in London gets you nothing.
