"Virgin pilots discontent"
Oh really!! They should think themselves fortunate they have a job at present, or does the world owe them a living?
If that is true then my advise for them is to stop winging and go find another job if things are not to their satisfaction at VS. I say to them, welcome to the "real world" where redundancies and furloughs for the rest of us mere mortals are a fact of life.
Virgin and BA are not immune to the realities of these bad times (worse to come). Jobs for life are a thing of the past, for a lot of us.
