Noddy, that's exactly what I was trying to point out!The reason that not many pilots from the Classic fleet have left yet is that it is operated by relatively senior crews, and Virgin are using the "last in-first out" process to reduce their numbers, so most of the pilots leaving will be from the -400/A340 fleets, thus entailing a huge expense to retrain their pilots. That said, my main point was that no matter the sclae of the management stuff-up, it is always the pilots that come out of it worse off, never the mananegment who make the mistakes in the first place.
