To be perfectly honest with you I am not at all upset that we at the 'Virgin' branch of "Blue" are not doing the international flying.
The pay rise that comes with the international flying means that I will actually be taking home less in my pay thanks to the taxman. NO THANKS
And seeing as all the flying is still in 737's it's not like I get the benefit of learning a new aircraft, or different style of service. I am sure that the novelty would wear off pretty quickly.
HOWEVER.... as we are all part of the big "Blue" family I still have my staff travel rights etc so I am pretty happy with that.
(N.B I reserve the right to change my mind about any of the above comments in a years time when the new EBA comes my way.)
