High as a kite,
Wouldn't you love to do a back to back at BA! You know that you get 139 pounds EXTRA on top of allowances to do them. As you do with a Miami and Vancouver, that is EXTRA to the allowances that are better than Virgin. And lets's not even start on the BA box payments vs Virgins couple of pounds per sector trip pay. You have to admit, it's a bit of a joke!
BA don't NEED trip requests! They don't need to wait 5 years to be senior enough to be able to request a Narita for an extra 180 pounds a month! And you will also note that Virgin recently halved the number of trip requests that you are entitled to and have plans to get rid of them all. Who ever get's their request anyway? There is always an excuse about leave or outbid or didn't fit in the plan.
Please let's not start an argument on the merits of BA vs Virgin as everybody knows Virgin is the BA drop out zone, I should know, I was one of them! No problem admitting it.
And wait, there is now more news. As there weren't enough volunteers for the Lagos core crew on the cheapo leased out Air Atlantic Classic, they are going to allocate people to it! Wow, that should improve morale no end!
Anyway, I have a life, and it's definitely nothing to do with Virgin so I am leaving it there and wish you all well, especially Padder, you are one of many and I can tell you, you won't regret it!
