'British Airways is asking thousands of staff to work for nothing, for up to one month, to help the airline survive'

Ok, fair enough asking staff to work a few days a month but asking staff to work for nothing for upto a month is a piss take while you read the other bit to it...

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

He has agreed to work unpaid for 1 month, he guy earns £60,000 a month (£60,000 POUNDS).  He has more than enough and he can live with what he earned so far.  For the normal workers losing paid is a very big deal indeed, all have rent, mortages, bills, food etc to paid for.  Losing a months wages can break a household.  Im sure Mr Walsh can live on his pass earning the rest of the workers can't.

Its a outrage if you ask me......
