- Iberia’s cabin crew and pilots have emerged as potentially prime cost-cutting targets for Willie Walsh, the new chief of a merged British Airways-Iberia.
According to union sources in Madrid, cabin crew at the Spanish flag carrier earn an average of €50,000 (£44,600) compared with BA’s average of £29,900 and Virgin Atlantic’s average of £14,000.
Iberia’s pilots are also well remunerated with average pay of about €190,000 compared with BA’s average of £107,600. Spanish pilots also receive a 7.5 per cent bonus every three years.
