British Airways pays its cabin crew twice as much as Virgin - Times Online
As I said on another thread yesterday,unhappy times at BA at the moment.
But the same can be said for many airlines I guess.
British Airways pays its cabin crew twice as much as Virgin - Times Online
British Airways is paying its cabin crew and pilots up to twice as much as rival airlines, prompting the carrier to demand significant cuts from its staff.
Data from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) shows for the first time how much higher BA’s wage costs are than its rivals. 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.
BA began intensive negotiations with trade unions representing its cabin crew yesterday in an attempt to cut costs. It wants to reduce crew numbers by the equivalent of 2,000, through voluntary redundancy or staff turnover. If this target is not reached, the airline will consider making compulsory redundancies
