The avarice of many senior and retired pilots at BA is a sad reflection of today's society in Britain. I have heard of a few 777 Captains announcing that they are paid £...,000/year, full allowances, and a pension pot well in excess of £5 million. They are still flying and have no intention of taking retirement before 65. For pity's sake! And many many retired pilots from BA, who took retirement at 55, or even earlier, are on staggeringly big pensions, well into their 70's and 80's. For these people, a proper and channelled contribution would be a decent thing to do.
Sadly, greed over-rides philanthropy. And pilots can be notably £££-driven. Fair enough, but where is empathy and even generosity?
And with the dreadful collapse of the aviation industry, now is the time for help, not greed. Aviation is not coming back, and with climate issues as well as ruined economies worldwide, it never will.
