Staff travel perks are secondary, they dont cost the company much money(if any), the question at hand is the DISGUSTING! £900 a month for our cabin crew.
Now this is what is at the core of the problem, every year we get a sob story from the company about rising costs, you know what, WE HAVE RISING COSTS ASWELL!.
Try living in london area, renting a flat, paying your council tax bills etc on £900. That is what the problem is, we are not trying to bring the company to its knees the way some ill informed people seem to think, we are trying to get a wage which is we can cover the increased cost of living.
I ask Mr Spanner do you think its a fair wage? And dont bother saying go elsewhere coz thats not what i'm asking.
The prob we have is that our senior management have seriously mismanaged our company for years. For example we should have more fuel efficient aircrafts but someone made the wrong decision with what aircrafts to get and now we are paying the price. This is just one example of wrong decisions being made by the management team, they are at fault for this current situation NOT THE CABIN CREW!
Just a thought we know SRB is wanting to buy back his share in Virgin Atlantic from Singapore, he would probably get it at a discount if these troubles continue for much longer, he wouldn't would he??
