The interesting thing is that once the cabin crew pay deal has been accepted it is then time for the flight crew pay talks to commence.
I can almost guarantee you that the flight crew will get a bigger increase than the cabin crew and this will cost the company a lot more money -but thats ok isnt! We are after all just cabin crew! Its funny because with the last pay deal a few years ago the reps said 'hey dont worry when the next pay talks come round we will be in better position'. I know virgin I have seen this game played for the 12 years that I have been with the company and in two years time when the next pay talks are due to take place there will be other financial commitments like the 787 dreamliners for example and we will be fobbed off with the same old story!
