Virgin is promoting the young, glamorous, catwalk appearance of its cabin crew.
Thanks for the recommendation, A Lurker.
That's yet
another reason for disgruntled J-class passengers to choose ABBA and its sour-faced pro-strike flight attendants.
Virgins crew may be paid less, but their passenger service is better than BA at the moment.
According to The Times, British Airways cabin crew are paid more than double that of similar workers at Virgin Atlantic Airways.
If that is true, and I notice that you do not deny it, BA cabin crew should be twice as happy and twice as motivated as Branson's Babes.
British Airways wants to be able to have the pick of the market and select what they perceive to be the best. How do they do that? They offer a higher salary so more people apply so they can select who they want.
What's your beef with that, A Lurker? Mediocrity is definitely not good for being able to compete in the market place.
Differences begin to stack up
Yes indeed they do, A Lurker. And the customers are beginning to notice this.
The trouble is that the differences are deleterious to British Airways. Because of union misrule people no longer want to travel with an airline staffed by closet communist cabin staff.
