Thanks very much for posting that here, and indeed for joining up with the BA forum and Flyertalk Flyingandserving. It certainly makes for grim reading and I very much hope your fears are not materialised. It must a worrying time for you and those close to you too.

BA management appear to be treating MF crew very badly indeed.
The same BA management should learn from the excellent BA MF crew that flew swmbo and I lhr to aus on Tuesday 4th. Great crew and great service.
Pity their management are so incompetent.

As London Heathrow Mixed Fleet Cabin Crew you will have the potential to earn, on average, a reward package of between 21,000 and 25,000 per annum. This comprises of a starting salary of 12,192 per annum, an hourly payment when you are flying, bonuses for achieving your performance targets and commission for Inflight Retail sales. Annual leave starting at 30 days per year rising to 34 days per year.
I am only surprised that they did not word it as "the potential to earn, on average, a reward package of between 12,000 and 34,000 per annum."
