srjumbo This is what I said to you:
srjumbo is entirely wrong in his assertion that there is some kind of 'agreement' between GSS and Virgin, as a senior captain from GSS who recently spoke to a senior manager at Virgin can confirm.
You will also recall that I said this on the same page, though a different post:
srjumbo as far as I'm aware, no GSS people have been employed by Virgin. I believe that 4 have applied. I can categorically confirm that there is no agreement of 'non employment' of GSS people between Virgin and GSS - such a policy would have no benefit to Virgin. If you wish to PM me, I can give you some further information.
What have I to retract or apologise for?
SS All VS commands are internal promotions. We got a bit stretched, as the command training didn't start early enough, but we are just about coping! There has been no suggestion whatsoever of DECs - and we (the pilot workforce) wouldn't wear it anyway!
