"If BA where being payed in the same way Virgin crew are make no mistake!! They would have walked out the door."
And unfortunatley you choose not to, but instead seem intent on bringing this company down to its knees.
Judging by your Tag name, I assume you're an FSM. I wonder how often you put your opinions to the crew on your flights (based on how vociferous you have been on this thread). Must be lovely flying with a manager who's supposed to do what a manager does... encourage, motivate, lead by example....?!!!
As for your belief that there was a "majority" of crew that voted to strike, when you deduct the 40% that didn't vote, that "majority" is very minor indeed!!! (but enough to cause untold damage).
What do you believe will be the future of Virgin now? Do you think after any cuts that have to be made to ride this mess out, that the company will be in any better position to offer more in the future, or was that a risk that you and a minority of others were wiling to take.
It all seems like a game of Russian Roulette to some...
