i put it to you that your views on how a bluechip footsie100 company works are wrong and your understandin, at best, flawed.

Take your comment about willie being unable to increase the share price; for one the CEO doesn't just decide on a whim to increase it, it is the INVESTORS that will increase the SP by buying shares. They will only do this if they see a potential to make money from a lean, efficient PROFITABLE company going forward...do you see the irony there???

you also contradict yourself on a couple of points...you state that you shouldn't be compared to other airlines such as LOCOs', i'm not sure why you think because the product is a premium one that you should be paid more? If they are our competitors on certan routes it hardly matters what the cabin service is does it? And actually LOCO cabin crew work for the entire duration of shorthaul flights; after they have passed thru the cabin they then go on to sell scrathcards and the like.
your comment about willies pay and the US president is a strange one which is hardly worthy of comment except to say that i suggest you revisit benchmarking and take a look at other footsie100 companies CEO pay. You will find that Willie is benchmarked well, perhaps even paid too little?

Please tell me how Willie has "destroyed CRM"? If you mean because pilots like myself have worked in the cabin during the strike, then it shows how little you understand about CRM. CRM is not about socialising or being nice to pilots. I suggest you read up on the subject on your next commute home to Joburg.
