Good on the Virgin aircrews for considering this action. As has been debated on several other Pprune threads, Ts & Cs will never improve if we continue to accept things as they are. We need to take a stand.
Why should aircrews supplement the passenger's ticket prices or the CEOs pay packets by working poor Ts & Cs ?
A properly respected and motivated aircrew will improve company performance and profits far more than a disillusioned, exhausted aircrew, who have low quality of working life, and low quality home life.
Well said. Direct action will be the only language they will understand.
