PAY
I am so glad that so many people are in support of us guys sticking together in these current pay negotiations. It is embarassing to compare our VS pay with other airlines doing the same job. I hope it doesn't end in strike but if the company do not give us a fair deal that we can survive on it looks very likely!
Lots of people say why did we take the job if we knew the pay?
It is not made clear at interview that our pay will never increase within our rank even after years of service unless we take promotion.
Also all trips should be paid equally... A 2 night LAS is not even worth getting out of bed for whereas a 1 night ORD is fantastic money. Surely we should be paid for how long we are away, sector length and it should be in our banks at home so we can actually get a mortgage!
TO ALL CREW OUT THERE: Vote NO NO NO until we get an acceptable and reasonable offer!!!
