I've always considered VAA to be "enthusiastic amateurs" and the only professional part of the airline are the pilots and engineers. The quality of the management
is such that they've only ever made a profit in a handful of years in the past 30 (or so they say!).
Good luck to the BA guys.
we didn’t drop the 15% pension contribution for new joiners ,
we still have the 750hr rule (which I think is the absolute golden egg)
we also had a reasonable pay rise
but I also agree the management is pretty rubbish (but who’s isn’t )
I fully support BAs strike !! It’s about time !
Virgin is majority owned by Delta , I’m sure they have a big say in what happens
