Industrial Action at a Major UK Carrier

I have heard a rumour that a major UK carrier may be forming a protest about pay. I am not sure if it it is professional pilots or cabin crew, but, rumour has it that it is today? Who could it be?

These rumours within the professional pilot/cabin crew community should be given a voice.

What about the unproffesional pilots at the company?

Rumours are best ignored.

I don't think any carrier will be organising a protest about pay - it will probably be the employees.

Pilots in the co I work for are being balloted for industrial action, but I can't tell you which co it is because my contract of employment forbids me from saying. It's a fairly large, charter/scheduled operation.

I work for the same company as ZeBedie, but just like him, I am not at liberty to disclose my employers name.

Beautifully clarified, Monarch Man. I applaud your sense of irony!

ZeBedie, Monarch Man,

This is not about 'our' company.

To give a hint. Its on the first page of Rumours and News and has been moved to the CC page..

Because if it was Virgin, then it might get merged off of this thread. I'm not saying it is or isn't Virgin. It might be Virgin, it might not be Virgin. Anyhow, its just a rumour, isn't it?
