Virgin 2.0 is low cost long haul with all the disadvantages of long haul but none of the pluses of a low cost lifestyle.
I know plenty of guys regretting leaving the Middle East to come here as an FO again , take the big pay cut for the lifestyle. The lifestyle has gone, just a copy of Middle East carriers now but the pay is nothing like it !
But it’s horses for courses, you seem happy with you’re lot so I guess some people think it’s still ok !!!
nah, I’ve already been made redundant before , you’re welcome to it
I’ve worked for two of the above airlines and believe me it’s not pretty! I guess it depends on what your priorities are but for me short haul is a very tough gig.
That being said I get your points and stand corrected! It may not be the best gig in the UK but it’s one of the better jobs out there depending on your circumstances.
I was made redundant and soon realised very quickly how difficult it is to earn a fraction of what I was getting at Virgin doing a much harder job.
