Virgin Blue book
Anyone who is interested should read the new book "Branson" by Tom Bower.
It has an interesting section on Virgin blue and pilots pay. MR Moderator do you think this is relevant?

FYI as a start WRT to VB "BG's involvement did not inspire confidence"
"Senior pilots employed by Virgin Atlantic had been declared redundant by BA and CX"
For the rest you'll have to read the book.

It's not so much the amount of pay VB pilots receive, that of course is in the public domain. What's really interesting I gather would be the attitude of those at the top, and their opinion as to the relevance of "professional" pay for a "professional" service?
P.S.
C'mon markontop, keep em coming. On my paltry salary I couldn't afford to buy a copy!

yes have read the book. Very insightful and yes as was mentioned recently RB was very loud in the lead up to the release of the book that he would itake legal action whereever possible.Guess what, no legal action at all as the author Tom Bower made sure of the facts.
Anyone wants to work for him should read the book first

Started one thread before, but the pravda moderator deemed it not relevant. No I have nothing to do with the initial job cuts. I just find it interesting how this industry attracts these sought of people. If he is the great man he professes to be ie "people's champion" convince me. What is he like to work for? How is the holiday island?

1. It is NOT a book on Virgin Blue as you allude to in the title of this thread. It is an unauthorised biography. I question its relevance based upon a single chapter on VB.
2. You would attract a broader audience for your cause (whatever that is) outside of the D&G forums.
3. Don't come back with a 3rd version of this topic.
