British Airways have asked their staff to work for a week to a month for free but look at the salary the MD gets - how can they possibly justify that?

BA asks staff to work for nothing 
 
BA won't say how much it hopes to save by its latest initiative
British Airways is asking thousands of staff to work for nothing, for up to one month, to help the airline survive.

The appeal, sent by e-mail to more than 30,000 workers in the UK, asks them to volunteer for between one week and one month's unpaid leave, or unpaid work.

BA's chief executive Willie Walsh has already agreed to work unpaid in July, forgoing his month's salary of £61,000

Now what if he and all the other executives took a pay cut, that might encourage staff to give a day free.

I think Willie Walsh needs to do b etter than that on his salary - 4 months unpaid full time work?  Mind you I would work for free for four months if I could then get the same salary as he gets!!
