British Airways asks staff to work for free
British Airways asks staff to work for free
British Airways has asked its 40,000 staff to work without pay for up to a month as the ailing airline seeks to cut costs. They lost £401 million in 2008 due in part to higher fuel costs, fewer high-dollar paying passengers and labor cost far above their competitors. picked by 2manyusernames 6 months ago

okay, I am sure that:

Last week it emerged that BA pays its cabin crew and pilots up to twice as much as rival airlines. The average salary for BA’s 14,000 cabin crew, including bonuses and allowances, is £29,900, compared with £14,400 at Virgin Atlantic and £20,200 at easyJet. BA’s pilots earn an average of £107,600, compared with £89,500 at Virgin and £71,400 at easyJet.
is a big part of the problem but what about executive pay and bonuses? What about giving a slight cut to the workers pay so that they are still higher than their competitors but not as much higher ALONG with a good cut to the top executives pay. Add to that a good look to see if there are too many top executives. See if some of them are redundant. I'd rather see fewer people with fancy titles and little work than fewer pilots, support staff, flight attendants etc.

Someone getting over a million dollars can probably go without a month or more paycheck than the regular worker who is living paycheck to paycheck.

Not to mention do we really want the person responsible for our lives to be resentful that he isn't being paid?
