Airline workers in line for £1,000 bonus

British Airways staff are poised for annual bonuses of around £1,000 (€1,500) if the airline improves margins sufficiently, it emerged today.

Up to 43,000 non-management workers stand to benefit from the scheme which is based on BA’s drive to double its operating margin to 10% – equivalent to 10p profit out of every £1 gained in revenue.
