Complete rubbish….
Some of those not invited back had perfect performance records, had never spoken out against the company publicly or in private discussions.
The then head of flight crew management made a point of needing to stamp his authority on the pilots and an easy way to do that was to use the returning pathway to bully and intimidate.
There are people that didn’t return that are taking the company to court yes, but equally there are people that returned or even didn’t even leave that are taking similar action, look out for a few to be coming out into the public domain soon.
A good question to ask is why do virgin have to scream so loudly about how great they are? Why do they make a noise about hiring women, when they were more likely to be made redundant and not return. Why do they need to shout about how inclusive they are in LGBTQ areas?
Don’t believe any of the public shine and glamor, virgin is now only leading in the race to the bottom. Virgin has and will always be fur coat, no knickers!
By all means come and join us, but do it with your eyes open and an escape plan in mind for the next redundancy program, because it’s not a case of if but when….
