Virgin should abide by the seniority system if only out of loyalty towards those who have shown the same to the company.It shouldn't be a lottery as to what type we are rated on as to whether we keep our jobs.I'm sure there are plenty of staff within the group who are prepared to take unpaid leave just as they did when the Gulf war started.The company has plenty of money in reserve,this coupled with the mothballing of the classics and dumping the non profitable routes should more than compensate the losses they were suffering long before last weeks outrage.I know substantial savings can be made throughout the airline without resulting to any compulsory reduncies.
