HKG crew to go on strike

Looks like it might be an interesting week next week crewing flights.

NO doubt VS will just fly out additional UK based crew to ensure the flights operate.

“Our priority is to ensure that our customer’s travel plans are not affected during the holiday period and we will therefore have additional crew available to fly on the route between London and Hong Kong,” she said.

Seems to be the case!

I wonder if VS have enough staff on standby to provide the extra crew until 1st Jan?

I also wonder if Virgin have a similar scheme to BA where non-crew staff are trained and qualified as crew, would be useful for such an incident!
