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.
Hit the nail on the head with that.
I’ve heard the same from crew.
Some FO’s and crews are speaking of being bullied by “new” captains drunk on power and who wouldn’t have passed command a few years ago. That’s becoming a regular conversation now from crews and FO’s. Some are scared to fly with a few and it’s the same names that crop up.
Some so tired they fall asleep in jump seats on landing. And then the rank misogyny in the form of sleazy individuals trying it on.
And as for the LGBTQ inclusivity they love to advertise that they make a big song and dance about at interview….that’s a sham like so much in the Virgin 2.0. I know the trans women pilot they made a big supporting, she hated how they were making such a big thing about it, just wanted to get on with life. When we flew together when I asked her about it and she said that she didn’t want the fuss, that she only agreed to internal DEI stuff to help others and didn’t know they were slapping it into the media.
She has just left and is starting legal proceedings after complaining of being sexually harassed and bullied by other pilots, and from what I know she’s got a water tight case, hell I’ve even heard the disgusting gossip being spread about her by other pilots.. And before anyone starts making comments about her she’s truly a nice lady, a bloody good pilot and really intelligent. I’ve flown with her a few times and was very impressed with her performance. She’s left for a DEC at DHL I believe. So read into that what you will.
Sadly ever since the Covid thing it’s changed here at Virgin, and not for the best. It’s why I’m going soon and I’ve been here a long time. I’m fed up of having to second guess peoples motives, tired and fed up of the disrespect management have for us and lots of other reasons… basically nibbled to death by ducks!!
So I’m off with my mill pension and going to do short haul euro trip flying for a wee while until I retire.
