Maybe with 1 Billion in one bank, virgin (source RB) are just about to make a bank transfer to MB ?

:} Virgin? Don't think so!!!

I always though bad news came from corporates on a Friday.

That way the managers can run and hide over the weekend whilst the workers face the flak!

After a few weekend G @ T's they can come back with a whole new raft of shiny excuses!

Good news on Wednesdays means they can gloat and calculate their bonuses before the Saturday round of Golf.

Maybe, just maybe. :ugh:


Anyways, most likely to be 'nasty' quarterly figures and a projection for the future.

My wife thinks washing sheets on Friday brings bad luck! :eek::eek::eek:

Don't forget that what may be in the bank will not be available to spend - you have to be aware of their liabilities too!

Don't forget a lot of that money in the bank comes from prepaid tickets!

An "Insider" tells me that all the unions have been called in to a meeting at the hall on Friday after which an announcement will be made to the press, if this involves all employee groups it may be something more significant than just moving the 330s to Heathrow :eek: Hopefully it will have a positive spin !

Job losses.

You know thats the case when the unions are brought in.

The mega-merger to create "b-mi easyVirgin" - an airline long on salacious talk, but short on action.

Trust me as an ex BA Connect/Citiexpress employee - bad news is always on a Friday so everyone can panic over the weekend!!

it was never all unions!
 

I don't know who your "insider" is, but it was never all unions summoned to the meeting at Donington Hall - only unions connected with Manchester.

You can all draw your own conclusions from that, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out that it was bad news!:{

It's a very lean company anyway, so job losses will be minimal. Operationally the slots have to be flown out of LHR, and they have to get rid of the 757s and Embraers before redundancies in operational circles would occur from the mainline fleet. So I'm told.

So that's this coming Friday...?

...and that sounds like a reference to a Friday past...?

Are you both on the same hymn sheet, or am I misinterpreting something? :confused:

I've told you what it is now stop with the speculation!

Yawn.yawn. here we go again.:(

I have heard that union meeting has beeen canx. but theres still some announcement re man on fri
:sad:

Oh selling bmi again, now lets see. Who have bmi been sold to in the last few yrs, BA, Virgin, LH, Etihad and the latest is the sell off of ground handling to Menzies. Thats the latest one rolling around LHR at the mo.
Oh i think FedEx might have been in the mix to and some point.
Getting a little sick and tired of so called earth shattering news that never happens.
So time to get back to the coal face and carry on.

Getting a little sick and tired of so called earth shattering news that never happens. Bit like being promised a cut in petrol tax never happens. All spin and no balls.
So time to get back to the coal face and carry on.

Oh i do like this rumour network:ugh:
So meeting now cxxld and still noone knows what is to happen except everyone who thinks they know!!!!
In the meanwhile lets just be thankful we still have jobs unlike lots of our other colleagues who have been laid off recently:(
