Virgin Atlantic pilots in talks to avert airline’s first-ever strike
26 August 2010Virgin Atlantic has held last-ditch talks with the union representing the airline’s pilots aimed at averting the first-ever strike in the company’s history.
Virgin Atlantic pilots are currently guaranteed 120 days off a year on top of holiday – which corresponds approximately with time off such as weekends and bank holidays.
However, management at the airline, which posted a £132 million loss last year, is looking to trim the figure as part of cost-cutting measures.
