Don't let them give away OUR pay

To put this into perspective when the company states it doesn't have enough money to pay us more:

Richard Branson is donating 1.6BILLION over 10 years for research into carbon offsetting and bio fuels that (hopefully) will be better for the environment. While this is fantastic for Earth and a great cause this money is coming from Virgin Atlantic profits. My calculator has trouble because 1.6billion has too many digits but if you work out based on £1billion it equates to:

£100million per year or divide by 4000 crew members thats £25,000 so no one should believe that Virgin don't have enough money to offer us a measly pay increase.

Vote NO and let us the hardworking crew (and don't forget the office and ground staff) share in the companies fortune.
