We hear this all the time...'we aren't paid what we are worth.'

I suspect there are plenty of replacements ready and waiting to fill out applications at the Virgin HR office.
I dont think so many years ago this may of been the case, indeed many years ago I thought the world revolved around the aircraft with the red tail and would of done anything to work for them.

Application numbers are down, at one point they were getting 76,000 applications per year It is no where near this figure now, people are getting disenchanted with the brand, the working conditions and the whole package virgin atlantic offer now.

I hope Virgin Crew get the pay they deserve. It should not be a case of "if you dont like it, you know where the door is" Management didn't get away with it at my airline, and we now have some of the best t&c's and pay amongst the UK airlines.
