"You have to deal with things as they are"
Its because this airline is so poorly managed that we are in the financial situation that we are. Blaming already poorly paid CC for threatening the future of the airline is just another symptom of a management that blames fuel prices, open skies, the environment, declining yields etc.. every excuse in the book yet refuses to look at itself.
All factors that every other airline has to face daily, factors which our main competitor are dealing with admirably whilst at the same time increasing frequencies, expanding its fleet and putting 350 million into a new terminal
It hasn't been bad for airlines the last few years and Virgin are still under performing. I cant wait another 18 months, the management have had long enough to sort this out and I worry how its going to be in 18 months time given we are now moving into what looks like a period of economic regression (if not recession).
All crew want is an RPI increase to reflect how much more life costs each year. Surely that's not too much for a billion dollar organisation!!??
This is an interesting article from The Times on our CEO, interesting reading..

"But we're Virgin", heads up ar*e's is the only management I see these days.
