Virgin Atlantic Pilot Strike Ballot

[8029848s]

IMHO

IMHO I feel VA pilots need to stop whinging, and start realising they are already onto a good deal.

750 hours a year.....if only!

Yes we all know your management is distinctly lacking in ability but you work for a small operation linked to a big brand. Nothing more.

Regardless of the irregular and highly inaccurate accounting processesof VA I would be surprised if the airline has made any money during the recession.

On top of this even with the strong link to the Virgin brand SA have been unable to find a buyer for the 49% stake they hold for a number of years....why.......because no major airline is willing to take on a loss making company which is looking increasingly isolated.

As a pilot for a slightly larger company not only have I taken a pay cut over the last three years but also taken unpaid leave and worked unpaid. O, did I forget to mention the 900 hours as well.

To summaries, boys, you’re on a good deal and although your managers are lacking chill out.

Just fly your 330s and enjoy the 750 hours while it lasts.
