What Duggie and other who troll-out this tired argument seem to fail to realise is that the WHOLE airline is making the VCC possible.

The VCCs leave a hole that has to be filled. If it didn't, the position wouldn't exist.
Why? Because EVERY department has already made sacrifices. Has already been cut to the bone. Budgets slashed. Numbers reduced. Overtime stopped. Pay rises stopped for three years. No bonuses.

But as I say, the holes left be VCC are being filled by those left behind taking up the extra work. They are backing BA by doing this.
So you can carry on with your scaremongering - but it doesn't wash.

We (VCCs) know how hard it is back in the office and what is waiting for us when we return -we will be backfilling for other staff in turn.
Hard work and long hours....not for short-term financial gain - far from it.
But for medium term job security.

Keep trying Duggie but your angle is old, misdirected - and totally and utterly wrong.
