Why have there been cabin crew leaving Virgin to return to Ryanair? First hand reports of cabin crew crying themselves to sleep on layovers at Virgin due to the entire toxicity of the whole thing. Is that why those crew you mention aren't joining the pilots for meals?? Bullying, toxic management, rosters leaving you with no life.
These crew are LGBTQ .. where on earth is the humanity in treating them with any dignity? Or is that reserved for the instagram posts??
Why was there a pilot who's entire life dream was to fly for Virgin - yet he lasted 14 months?? I'm yet to hear a single good report of working for this airline from anyone I know who has left to go, or from those knowing others who have gone. I cannot say that for any other airline?
This sudden yet intense focus on LGBTQ+!#@LMNOP appears to all be a very disingenuous coverup for the reality of what the airline has turned into.
You have an axe to grind and anyone with half brain will figure that you were either rejected OR fired.
First hand reports you say, well, I used to be crew there and know a lot of crew who beg to differ, and I will call your BS, BS.
“Why there have been cabin crew leaving blabla”. I can come here and give you galley FM too. I have seen crew leave my airline, who pays more and have a better working environment than Ryanair, but perhaps a fixed roster is priority to some?
Or regional/European bases? You imply it has to do with the equality issue which in turn makes you look not very intelligent. There can be a number of reasons that lead people to leave, work life balance being the first I can think of. Bullying? There was bullying back in the day at VA, before the supposed change, so again, BS. Do you know where there is plenty of even more bullying? Ryanair…
All you have to offer is bitterness and bigotry and you added zero to the conversation, there’s nothing positive or constructive, we have learned nothing from you, says a lot. A sad little-pity-novel of how the world of Virgin isn’t to your liking anymore. Nobody cares, and if you haven’t heard good things is because people who are truly happy, aren’t here, bragging about it online.
Someone suggested that it is the reason they can’t hire, yet more BS from people who have no recruitment experience or true insight of the market. My airline struggles to recruit, so does BA who need 600 pilots in the next year. The middle east carriers aren’t “woke”, they can’t hire enough.
This thread was overrun by the pound shop Piers Morgan’s of aviation, crying themselves to sleep as the wet dreams of laying by the beach with a few good looking blondes and having the time of their life was evaporated, because it turns out they aren’t fun to be around. Truth of the matter, you wouldn’t have this discussion face to face or say half the things you do because 100% of the times, people who think like you are cowards.
My suggestion, try Saudi Arabia. Good pay, double than VA actually and tax free. Also, they don’t really hire gay people, actually you can do very macho things like hang out with men and talk about how manly you are. No rainbows😅
I will fly you there myself, economy though. Take a seat mate.
Now can we discuss real issues, like the scheduling agreement negotiations? (Not you, everyone else who’s sick of this nonsense and wants to move on).
