1000 jobs to go

Pprune at the rumours again 'As many as 1000 cabin crew and pilots to go'?
Big annoucement due Monday? (Board meeting)

Virgin slimming down to survive the long game?
Rumour that bookings light some LHR routes but LGW/MAN still strong.

Claws coming out on that one!

I know it's only a rumour, but I'm looking at making a booking for May in the next two days, just before the end of the sale. But this would worry me greatly & might send me over to the Òother sideÓ.

As an announcement like that on Monday, could fester into a strike, which would probably hit in a few monthsÉÉMay !!

And what a fight, hope they weren't really VS crew! Not exactly the image VS would like to project

VS might have the sense to manage a voluntary reduction - perhaps some temporary only. That way no strike.

Nice to see that the love of customers and Gold Card holders on V-Flyer is still held in high regard by crew over at cabincrew.com... hold on....

Seriously wonder why they are in a customer facing role with demeanours and attitudes like that.

As to the rumour, it wouldn't surprise me.

wow do all airlines forums have similar attitudes to customers.

I hope they don't make anyone redundant personally.

I just loved their assumptions about the profile of a gold card holder

They were probably referring to me.... [:w]

[honey lamb]

But Richard, you're not old

[ChuckC]

Two out of three perhaps? It must have been me ... old and snooty!

Well that is certainly one heck of a thread, in all fairness from reading it, I have the feeling that the majority of the people posting are not VS cabin crew, just people dropping in to stir things up....and for once it isn't me [:0]

See I love 'Froot Loops' but can only get them in the US due to one of the E number colourants being banned in the EU.

[Darren Wheeler]

Would that be the 'blue' one? Time to take an extra large case to put boxes in.

Yes, on a first date I always ask if they will get me into the clubhouse as their guest. Hmm. Maybe that's why I'm still single?!
