British Airways Pilot Salary 2026: Pay Deal Vote Puts Strike Risk And CEO Pay In Focus
British Airways pilots will vote next week on a 79-page pay proposal, raising the risk of strikes ahead of summer travel. The proposal offers a pay rise starting at 2.5% and rising to 4%, but unions say it would cut pension contributions and flying pay. BA reported a 2025 operating profit of £2.23 billion, while CEO Sean Doyle’s 2026 compensation is estimated at up to £5.6 million.
