The fact is that at LHR there are two other airlines, one mostly shorthaul the only longhaul. Both pay about half what BA pays.
I was talking about minimum wage for all earlier in the thread, but was told it was bu****it, as you would not attract the right calibre of people.

Again, do those carriers attract BA employees?

This maybe hard to comprehend, but I left BA for a pay rise and overall better terms and conditions. My employer back then, had to pay a wage to attract, which they did.
