Stop your moaning. You get all sorts of perks other airline staff don't. the tribe card giving good discounts on products within the Virgin group, very generous staff travel, upgrades to Upper class for all not just top management, the away from base allowances are better than most I know of.
So what do you do today that makes you 'deserve' more money? What is different from what you were doing 12 months ago?
If you think you deserve more quantify why, don't just come out with a crass comment 'we deserve more'. It is almost as pathetic as the whine of 'It's not fair' if a child doesn't get it's way.
So do tell, what makes this pay round different? Is it a bit of opportunism because they announced a big profit? So I expect you'll be volounteering for a pay cut next year because the fuel costs have rocketed.
Sorry guys and gals but from what I know of your pay and conditions you don't have too much to moan about.
I do not, and never have, worked for Virgin Atlantic.
