Virgin Strike News.....

[Steve and Sarah]

Hi just thought I would let everyone know that V-Flyer.com are reporting that an agreement has now been reached and that the possible strike has therefore been aborted......

The update was posted by a Virgin Cabin Crew member so it is 'from the horses mouth' as it gets I suppose.

This is great news for those like us who are travelling in the coming weeks - especially over the Bank Holiday Weekend which must have been favourite for any possible action.

22 days and counting.....

Herev is the actual statement. I am surprised some others who seem to know whats going on have not posted it already!

Joint Statement between Virgin Atlantic & Unite/Amicus
We are pleased to advise that Virgin Atlantic and Unite/Amicus have reached agreement on a pay deal for cabin crew.
Great effort on behalf of both parties has resulted in a deal that should meet cabin crew aspirations whilst remaining affordable for the airline.
The 3-year deal which Unite/Amicus will forward to members along with the consultative ballot papers provides for significant increases to basic and trip pay underpinned by productivity enhancements.
The team involved in the formulation of this deal should be commended for their effort and their constructive approach to the task.
It is clear from this agreement that Virgin Atlantic values the enormous contribution made by its Cabin Crew.

Phew although it would be nice to have a few extra days out there. I would rather come home and see my family after being without them for 6 nights. I am so pleased with this. Although it prob would not effected me I flew back on the Wed.
