As noone has ventured to answer my question about total BA's pilot costs last year, I'll play a game of guesstimation.

First, I'll guesstimate that BA employs 3200 pilots.

Second, I'll guesstimate average BA's pilot annual gross pay as being one hundred thousand pounds (100 000 quids).

So total guesstimation of amount paid last year by BA to its pilots is 320 million pounds, while there are...

£350 million in fines for price-fixing this year
Voila!

And two more things:

First, I'd like someone with more knowledge of BA to review and revise my ill-informed figures.

Second, anyone still wishing to rant about pilots opposing market forces and running airline into ground, please integrate exorbitant poor-management-caused-fines into your rant, thank you.
