An interesting article:
Strike-hit British Airways only airline to award pay rises
Previously unpublished figures from the Civil Aviation Authority revealed that BA’s 12,000 crew were paid an average of £31,400 last year. This was 5 per cent up on the £29,900 the year before.
By comparison, Virgin Atlantic’s crew had their pay frozen at £14,400. Crew at bmi had a 6.5 per cent average reduction to £17,200, while Monarch and Thomas Cook, the charter airlines, cut crew pay by about 13 per cent.
There's also some interesting readers comments - to give a little balance.
There hasn't been any "pay rise" for BA's cabin crew. Basic pay and other payments have been frozen except for subsistence allowances, which rise or fall according to the exchange rate.
Due to the weak Pound, these allowances have risen in line with inflation. This is a disengenous and silly article.
What the "outside world" is reading - supply your own verdicts.
