Also Virgin makes approx 40million pre tax profit per year, BA announced on the 3rd Aug 07, GBP263 million pre tax profit for the quarter leading upto aug. There in lies the difference. So can we PLEASE stop arguing VIRGIN VS BA and get back to VS cabin crew and their plight for better Ts&Cs, which they do deserve.
So why were our flightcrew allowed to compare themselves to BA as argument for grande pay rise and we are not ? There should not be one rule for one and one for the other when comparing ourselves to colleagues in the same line of work regardless of industry.
Yes there will always be a delta between our terms, however the gap is increasing significantly and serious adjustment is needed, no - not to bring it inline with BA, but to bring it closer to most other airlines, out of the gutter.
p.s. if any manager phones me and tells me to come into work or face the sack, name number and that info goes straight to the union, we will see who gets sacked first !
