Goodbye BA Glasgow Cabin Crew

On Saturday 17th January 2009, despite intense public and political protest, British Airways closed it's Scottish Cabin Crew Base after forty years of operation. This film is a celebration of the people and personalities who remained professional and loyal to the company to the very end.

Note: The final moments of the film show the historic arrival of the last ever Glasgow Shuttle from London Heathrow to be operated by a Scottish based crew.

To all current and ex ba staff,the first person you see in this video was my father. BA was his life so to any of you who worked with him, i owe you my deepest gratitude cos you were a part of what made his life complete. He always said to me, if you love your job, you never work a day in your life. We can only aspire to that.

Aberdeen never got a flippin video and they pulled plug on us in 1995!! Mind you, we didn't so much go out with a bang as with a wheeze (like that sound you get if you step on a set of bagpipes) Recognise a few faces. Those were the days

I used to do so many red eye flights, and not being a morning person these guys and girls never failed to tame that grumpy, grunting neanderthal I was with their warm hospitality and banter! I've flown with a lot of airlines, and you know what they say familiarity can breed, but the British Airways crews are truly among the best in the world.

What a great video - very moving. Such a shame that BA shut the regional bases.

You were all a credit to your respective bases.

Well done & good luck.

what a lovely video very nicely made so sad that BA decided to close its Glasgow base, Scottish hospitality really is the best in the world...
