Facebook - Virgin Crew
 

Some crew members from Virgin had a facebook blog - they were stupid enough to post pictures of themselves :eek:

They slagged off of passengers - questioned the safety of LGW aircraft !!


:mad:

No doubt the same virgin facebook groups where the girls all show off their stocking stops, very professional.

Stocking tops
 

Virgin CC and stocking tops.... fantastic have to do SLF with Emirates... I suggest 90% of their cc wear a stocking over their head!

Oh please, this has been blown out of all proportion it is on every aviation website I have come across today. The only other stories that gather so much attention is accidents...

It was a bit of light hearted banter between colleagues..

And speaking from someone who flies out of LGW a lot as crew for another airline, The "insults" aimed at the majority of those passengers who fly Virgin from LGW were very accurate.

YES YOU ARE CHAVS!! be proud of it, or ditch the Elizabeth Duke bling:}

Many passengers have made similar comments about a number of aircraft they have flown on which receive high usage one persons/groups opinion does not make it fact, we need to remember this along with the fact, we are all entitled to our opinion.

Thanks Jim - i just hope the jokers who were poking fun get the boot !!

Head office aware who they are !!!

Heck, I want to see this. What should I search on facebook to find it?

The blog has been removed

And a quick update !!

We had been made aware of some maliciouscomments made on a social networking site by a small number of our staff and we have started an immediate disciplinary investigation. :ok:

I saw that groups and wondered how long it would take before h/o got wind of it.

Pretty stupid thing to do if you ask me - but then they are cabin crew !!

:ouch:

My comment on this thread got me an interesting PM, trying to work out if she's CC or not now, give me more clues :ok:

If that's bad, try and have a look at all "i hate ryanair" groups on Fcukbook:}

Silly thing to do if you ask me... Wanna tell the world about how bad your company is and how some pax are w@nkers?
WRITE A BOOK!

Of course, use a fake name and make sure you advertise it on Prune:oh:

Its funny, watch a BA plane disembark at Antigua and what you see is passengers with Panama hats, crisp linen trousers/shorts, collared shirt and a nice pair of loafers!

Watch VS disembark and its fake tan, havianas, football jerseys, boob tubes/sports bras and a hell of a lot of bling!

What do the women wear ?? ;)

I take offence to Leezyjet's remarks implying that cabin crew are dim-
quote: "Pretty stupid thing to do if you ask me - but then they are cabin crew !!"

As cabin crew myself I have a 2:1 degree and also speak several languages. I do this job as I like it, love the travel and could never work in an office. I am paid well for the work I do. Why do people assume cabin crew are thick? Every day I fly with intelligent, funny crew who do an excellent job at work. We recieve extensive SEP and aviation medicine training and have recurrent exams every year. You must pass all practical and written assessments.

A lot of crew I fly with hold degrees and higher educational awards such as PhD's. I have flown with nurses, a former vet, teachers, police officers etc

As for the original topic of this post, yes it wasn't very clever to post on an open group on Facebook...I generally stick with a good moan in the back galley, emails (not work one, airline can get access into your email at work) anonymous forums, private forums etc

I know a lot of people may think cabin crew are robots with no thoughts or feelings but yes we do often 'slag off' (as someone put it) a handful of pax. Yes I know it's shocking but there is nothing you can do about it...we are entitled to our own thoughts and opinions.

ouch that told us
coffee tea or me :ok::ugh:

I see its made the BBC and ITV :eek:

I'm more of the opinion that a lot of the younger generation in general are particularly dim when it comes to the implications of "Facebook". Frankly whatever our age and whatever side of the flightdeck door we work on we've probably all been guilty of loose talk and loose behaviour ( Ohh Missuss!). You could get away with it in the days before everyone had a mobile phone with built in camera and the ability to post on the internet.........

So in this case were the Cabin Crew "thick" or "stupid"?- No, but at least one of them was incredibly naive.

Wiggy - Well said; nice to see a voice of reason occasionally

Cheers

"Coffee, tea or me", very funny, couldn't comment on what it reminded me of!

;)

Folks regarding post no 8 on this thread; a hurt/angry/upset reaction is exactly what makes people like that feel warm and fuzzy.

So remember:
