On the latest Business podcast, Aditya Chakrabortty and the panel discuss boardroom excess, national deficits, and trouble in the skies.
The bankers have enjoyed a fortnight where they've been replaced by MPs as the public's bete noir, but bosses at RBS have found themselves in hot water again over the bailed-out bank's bonus scheme. Deborah Hargreaves asks whether it's now time to seriously rethink boardroom pay.
Also in the podcast, Heather Stewart wonders whether Britain is about to pay the price for its ever-expanding deficit. Is the country's economic reputation really on the line following Standard and Poor's decision to revise its outlook on UK plc for the first time in 30 years?
Finally, after British Airways posted a loss of more than £400m, transport correspondent Dan Milmo explains why business class travel may be a thing of the past, and chief executive Willie Walsh may himself be heading for the departure gate.
