That’s right, but it only applies to management at British Airways. You see, British Airways is asking their employees to work with no salary for up to one month. The employees would continue to work as normal, traveling around the world handing out drinks and boxed up food but would be doing it without any salary.

LONDON — British Airways PLC is urging staff to work periods unpaid as it increases its efforts to conserve cash.

The U.K. flag carrier is offering staff one-week blocks of unpaid leave or unpaid work, with salary deductions spread over three months to six months where possible, it said in the latest edition of its in-house newsletter.

The company, which last month reported a £375 million ($611.9 million) net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, is expanding a plan that already offers employees unpaid leave or the chance to work part-time. It said more than 1,000 workers already have taken advantage of that plan, which was announced last month.[...]

[...]Mr. Walsh and Chief Financial Officer Keith Williams previously had announced that they would work for no pay during July. Mr. Walsh currently earns £735,000 a year, while Mr. Williams earns £440,000 a year, according to BA’s annual report.

Unions were unimpressed with the plan.

“Willie Walsh can afford to work a month for free,” a Unite spokesman said. “Our members can’t.” Unite represents thousands of cabin crew, baggage handlers and maintenance workers among BA’s workforce of 40,000.

Something tells me that these will not be ‘friendly skies’ at all.
