VS: Trouble on the horizon

24/08/2010 by Kevincm

Apologies for the delay into today’s post – I’ve been busy reviewing my photographic portfolio and it is quite frankly swallowing every minute when I should be beginning to pack….

It seems all is not well in Virgin Atlantic land. BALPA ( British Airline Pilots’ Association) dropped a minor little shell on VS , requesting a meeting with managemnt on Tuesday for talks to avoid confrontation between the airline and its pilots.

BALPA describe this as “last ditch attempt”

The dispute is over entitlement of rostered fays off, and an alleged denying of the company to grand these days off – 120 days a year (which is akin to an normal deskjockey working Monday to Friday only)

BALPA is unimpressed, and calls on Virgin to work on a solution – before BALPA takes action.

Which won’t be pleasant if you’re a passenger stuck at LHR T3 and finding your plane is cancelled….

Hopefully both sides can work out an agreement – the last thing we all need is more strikes….
