So Willy will give up one months wage and manage on £671,000 this year. Is that not the problem? At the other end of the scale the lower earners only earn enough to pay their bills, and one months loss would take them into the red. However I'm sure Willy will not be in the red losing one months pay. He should reduce his pay until it hurts as much for him as the lower paid in BA. Lead from the front.
