Question Virgin Pay Deal

Hi,

I've tried searching for info on the subject of Virgin's recent pay deal but couldn't find anything. Perhaps someone in the know could give some idea what was gained, including future prospects. Any idea what the basic is now?

Also, does anyone have any (sensible) ideas/views on time to command? I know it seems to vary from week to week! Most seem to think it would be the thick end of 10 years but what about the future expansion plans? Didn't Sir Dickie just order a few more aircraft, plus the A380 turning up in 2006?

Also, what's the latest rumours on the potential bmi tie-up. Straight takeover, or equitable merger? Tricky one to sort out seniority lists I would think? Potential redundancies?

Would love to join but I'd be giving up a lot of seniority and a fairly good salary and need to know whether it's worth it. I know I'd be worse off short-term, but it would be a long-term move.

Cheers.
