BA Pay cuts
Posted by david mealing at 12:13 UAE time
Willie Walshe's requests to staff to cut their annual salary is madness, why should they ? His offer to give part of his salary back is suspect.
As a tour organiser I dread having to use BA as a carrier. Why, because the ground staff and the cabin crew are some of the most miserable and arogant that I have ever encountered. And why ? They are led from the top by equally arrogant management.
It is not the staff that need to be forced to react to falling revenues but the senior management who you cannot correspond with, cannot talk to and are obviously not led in customer friendly environment which would induce flyers to use the airline and increase revenues.
Airlines today have to relate to customers needs and not their own egos. and maybe it is time for the CEO to step down and for BA to have a more user friendly boss.

Sheraz, the blogger genius

Thanks for noticing. I am very much employed, advising people whether to invest in "your" country. It gets more difficult by the day when one reads mindless drivel from people who use the word dude, get personal and ignore the topic. I guess it gives you a nice break from shopping, though.

Planespotter alert
Posted by Brian at 14:38 UAE time
For all the anoraks out there, the plane here is a Boeing 757-200 with retrofitted winglets which achieve a 5 per cent reduction in fuel costs. However, these aircraft in the BA fleet are used mainly in their Open Skies operation to North America, so don't go hanging out at the airport hoping to see the illusive winglets. Shame on you AB for getting us all steamed up. You should give up your salary for a month as punishment!

Big talk from falling star
Posted by Geriant at 13:40 UAE time
If the CEO gives up his salary in July he will probably only lose about half the US$100k, due to tax, benefits and probably myriad fiddles. For BA in the ME to get all noisy about not asking its people to follow the generous donation of their leader one detects a shrill sound of some marketing hack talking too much to hide realities. Are the planes full? Are the staff happy? Who knows what another six months of recession will bring. I wouldn't like some pilot driving the plane if he isn't being paid.
