Thank you Wiggy. Of course you would like to close the discussion down in relation to the huge salaries that BA pilots can command, but it is relevant as many pilots here have stated that Iberia Flight Crew are overpaid.
I find it curious that BA flight crew are very quick to comment on the salaries of other staff and whether they are paid the 'Market Rate', but for some reason their own remuneration package is apparently immune from scrutiny. For instance, the prime motivator for BA flight crew volunteering to fly as cabin crew, was because they believed that group of workers were paid too much. They were also duped into this mindset by a conviction that the BA cabin crew were going to bankrupt the airline. Selfishness, greed and the relentless pursuit of their own gravy train, were the prime motivators however for BA pilots supporting Willie Walsh in his efforts to smash BASSA, the cabin crew union. Of course the flight crew were paid £120 an hour for their 'services', plus were given around £16,000 each in share options for being so helpful to the cause.
Naturally this would explain the current lack of empathy with their colleagues at Iberia. No doubt BA flight crew must be secretly wishing that SEPLA succeeds in fending off IAG's demands, as soon after, the crocodile of appeasement might turn its attention to them. And it will...of course.
