Relax

When Virgin made redundancies after 9/11 it went on a last in first out basis. However many crew took voluntary which meant that approx 113 crew were given compulsory, when it could have been so many more.
There are absolutely NO TALKS/PLANS to make anyone reduntant. There is of course the rumour of FSM, which is why I asked the question "Is this because of the threatened strike?", if so then us old timers would naturally prefer it if the newbies went before us. However, that was simply a hyperthetical question and there are absolutely no grounds to base that rumour on.
Look at this thread for example. 50% believe we'll stay and 50% think we'll get shafted. But thats all it is, speculation.

I'm actually swaying now to thought that we will stay. If all a crew member can earn at VAA is a CSSs wage, then thats not going to inspire anyone and crew simply wont stay, so getting rid of the FSM (as well as many more reasons) would be plain stupid.

Anyway, try not to worry. yes, trying times are ahead but we did make our 7% profit this year, so for now we're staying in business.

Enjoy
