Vrigin lets all IFBT's go
 

From what I have read/heard Virgin Atlantic has let go of their entire group of In Flight Beaty Therapists. I feel sorry for all those people now with nowhere to go.

You're kidding aren't you? They're beauty therapists with Virgin Atlantic, so it would be fair to say they're far from ugly..

I'll let you do the maths...

Ugly or otherwise, losing your job still isn't pleasant.

Supposedly this came out of the blue, the dragged all IFBT's off flights etc and scheduled a mass meeting.

What is silly is that there was a group of over 300 IFBT's in training to join the team! They got cut too.

What's silly is the meeting actually happens on this Tuesday & it's unknown whether they've actually been axed yet - at the moment it's all gossip!

They also don't have 300 in training (although I understand they have one course going through currently)- they actually only have around 300 total at their LHR base.

All the IFBT's are SEP trained so if they did terminate the program I guess it's possible they could be transferred to cabin crew.

What's silly is that they actually had IFBT's in the first place. :eek:

Ahh finally a little bit of perspective, from the mostachioed bloke from across the Tasman.

and what a dashing moustache it is
