Get Real People
I have to say, all you fools that have put all your blah blah blah blah on this site need to wake up and get in the real world!
I used to work for an airline and heres a few facts.....
an airlines like VS earns a margin of around 4% on the money the invest. Tesco, where all you muppets shop makes a margin of around 20% - an average retrun on investment. Therefore, you think "Well virgin earned $80 million this year in profit therfore we should get a pay rise" GET REAL!
Your jobs are hard work but at the end of the day you fly 5 times a month, get a bus to the hotel lies on the beach and fly back. Do what you want. You serve meals on flights. Put the "safety" crap in the bin. How often does that happen? You could be fire marshall at a call centre in Luton and have as much responsibility at the end of the day?
If you don't like the job - piss off. You fly Upper with your partner on holiday, get cash to get pissed - whats the issue? If you don't like what you're paid leave.
FACTS
Airlines don't make money
Your job is easy compared to 95% of the UK population.
If it's not for you, and you don't like he pay - get a new job!
