wirgin - to assume that one third didnt care or couldnt be bothered is naieve. It's probably no different to the 1/3 that need to be reminded to acknowledge cics or complete online training - such is the nature of the job (it's not just shiftwork - it's shiftwork that takes you far from home).
And no - my other half and a number of my friends are far from happy with the result, but true to their form, they have vowed to provide the company with the service paid for - nothing more.
The good will is gone, and so to will the wonderful Virgin Blue reputation so long as the company places such a poor priority on its cabin staff.
It is far from time to move on - it's time to show the company that if they pay peanuts, they'll get monkeys.
Unfortunately for most so called 'managers', they seem to think if they pay peanuts, theyll get nobbies (use your imagination).
Work to rule - claim every last cent, and do nothing more than is required. Sure, it may go against your own personal morals - but its not you showing disregard for your loyal passengers - it is your managers and those who voted this eba in.
