What has happened to the reputation of VS over the last few years???
Many things have changed in the last few years:
- BA being 'given' T5 which has helped their cause tremendously.
- IAG tie-up and expansion with the acquisition of BMI and all the slots that come with that.
- VAA management losing the plot with numerous bum decisions - commercial as well as with it's workforce.
The trouble with a small company like VAA, a long economic downturn is always difficult. Panic sets in and services and the workforce suffer, and when there are better times the question is will VAA be in a position to take advantage?
As for short vs long haul, as people have commented, it's dealers choice. I enjoy the long haul lifestyle, but in these unsure and unclear times it would be a brave man who leaves a secure role to join
any airline at the bottom of the seniority list.
