RIghtly different contracts and agreements apply to different groups of people. However, in this case, where we are talking about potentially turning down passenger revenue in favour of giving a 13 year old child of a Non Executive Director a free first class seat to go on a whim wherever they want. I find that outrageous, and I suspect so does the CEO Willie Walsh, and previous CEO's, Colin Marshall included. The latter certainly knew where the bread was buttered and who the most important people were - the fare paying passengers. Remember, we are not talking about subject to space availablility, over which we would have less issue, but over potentially denying a full fare pax. This decision, if it goes through, absolutely enshrines the pigs in the trough mentality that seems all pervasive in the 21st century. The same mentality that pays Non-execs upwards of £300K pa for 2 days work a month, the same mentailty that sets aside £75m in share options for 'senior management', the same mentality that rewards director with upwards of 50% bonuses on the back of monies saved, just like the politicians and their voting through inflation busting schemes. IT STINKS.
