This topic is now unlocked, for all to add their views.
Could I just say, that this is one of the most emotive subjects we are likely to discuss. We are talking about dedicated crew members who claim that their employment conditions have been trampled on and their allowances greatly reduced, with little or no consultation or consideration of their feelings. Also no obvious involvement of the unions / staff organisations.
On the other hand we have an airline who are trying desperately to stay in business in the face of ever increasing costs, and who are seeing their competitors going out of business in droves.
To say their is no easy solution, is the understatement of the century.
We accept that VS staffers don't like to see their internal 'dirty washing' aired in public. Since the pay dispute, you now have VERBal where the more confidential and delicate issues can be debated.
Please remember, V-Flyer is an independent site with no VS staffers among the mods and, whilst we welcome all input from VS employees, we are essentially the voice of the customer.
Please keep the discussions civil. Robust debate is encouraged, but mud-slinging, insults and cheap shots will not be tolerated on either side.
The mods.
