I seem to remember that the figures in the press came from the CAA not from BA. Willie Walsh has never, as far as I am aware, publically given exact figures. He has simply re-iterated that BA Cabin Crew are amongst the best paid in the UK industry.
Incorrect - a personal letter from WW was printed in full in the Daily Mail. In that he quoted LH CSD's averaged £56K per year (impossible)...I had two Gold ECH's on a JFK - LHR flt show me this while passing in the cabin along with a couple of snide comments as well. I took the article into the CRC to show a CC Mgr who was equally as shocked as I and my colleagues were.
He has deliberately(or his
PR dept.) misled the UK public. In fact the highest a CSD earned was £84K and that was printed in the Independent....lie,lies,and more lies.
Mmmmm...who is the highest paid CEO of an airline worldwide?
Walsh must GO now.
