BA cabin crew highest paid in industry

Intersting to discover from previously unpublished figures that the BA cabin crew were the only UK cabin crews last year to get pay raises – on top of their industry leading salaries. Despite the fact the company reported record losses, and other carriers cut or froze crew salaries, BA cabin crew salaries rose by 5%.

Previously unpublished figures from the Civil Aviation Authority shows BA’s 12,000 striking cabin crew were paid an average of £31,400 ($45,570) in 2009. Five per cent higher than the £29,900 ($46,250) they received the previous year.
Virgin Atlantic’s crew had their pay frozen at £14,400 ($22,270).
Crew at bmi took a 6.5% average reduction to £17,200 ($26,600).
Charter carriers Monarch and Thomas Cook, cut crew pay by approximately 13%.
