A bit more information to support to my previous post.
If you have not been following a thread on Terms and Endearment. The topic: BA F/O’s Wanting GSS commands. The thread started over a year ago, it is quite enlightening to see the reactions and the thought process of fellow aviators. It is quite interesting reading. There are not very many happy F/O’s in that company since secondment saga, while upgrades for GSS F/O’s have been put back to just over 5 years now. BALPA has of course given its full backing.
My point is that some thing similar could easily happen in Virgin Nigeria.
