Nova on routes from LGW to the Carribbean is as good or better than any other airlines on these routes, diff story if we operated those aircraft out of LHR I agree, but hey, we dont. The Amenity kit is dire, company have realised that and are meeting with crew and speaking to U/C gold card holders about it.
Yes, I have had my conversation and a form sent back on this matter.
I am not a picky pax, just not happy about what I perceive as a diminution of the service over the past few years. It seems that UC went up with the introduction of the Suites (Yes, J2000, same guy behind these as the new "scrooge packs" by any chance?? ) but since then its all been removals not enhancements (for UC, certainly the new PE seats will be good)
I even stayed loyal when the food went REALLY dire! but VS have to pick up their game again.
I don't do carribean, I do do (Duvets?) the USA and in that market VS are now being squeezed on price and quality of service.

As above dire, the old Recardo seat was better than the J2000

that's what the FA and FSM's tell me on my trips from LGW, with the FSM having to fill in for missing FA's. Plus the no time in the uS returns for them are making them very tired on return flights.

I really hope that you dont just use Pprune to show your grievances , write to VS, e-mail, hell pvt me a message and ill take it in to head office. They will take it onboard.
as said above already in contact with Gold services about the changes. I gather I am not the only one.

If you do the LGW-MCO routes we could have already met
