Lets not forget that it might not just be Cabin Crew who may loose jobs over this, there are many other departments that will suffer. I mirror Jcdcon's thoughts. Honnestly I think the company is quite at rights to offer what it wishes now - if there are staffing cuts, there most certainly won't be offering even 2% to those that remain, lets go for 0% or even a pay cut - but hey at least you will have your jobs!
I think Cabin Crew have seriously isolated themselves from the rest of the company in this decision - I know I definately won't be going out my way to help Crew.
I'm not tarring you all with the same brush mind you - I applaud the comments from Virgin CSS and Jcdcon in giving up their time to help in the event of a strike. I work with a lot of people like you who regularly go that extra bit to ensure things run a bit smoother, and not for renumeration - afterall I was told when I started what the salary was - if i wanted more I would have moved on.
Still that might be the case now....
