[Travel] Virgin Atlantic to cut 3,000 jobs and quit Gatwick

[FamilyGuy]

BA and Virgin are trying to increase the pressure on a Government bail out

Agreed!

But the same individual is an employee of Manchester United and an England player. Lets say United to get the final of a European competition the same year as a world cup. The player has enough credits to do one or the other. Who wins? No one is the answer.

You could have a European final between two youth teams or more likely a world cup with a second rate national side.

Good grief - the player would use MAN UTD credits to get to the final of the European final ( not his own ) and FA credits to get to the world cup ( not his own ) - he has TWO employers BOTH of whom have their own business credits. Is this really so difficult to understand ?

You seem to have missed post #72 entirely.

Someone cleverer than you or I can find a solution to the tax and pensions issue.

All I have pointed out is that not having children is the Greenest thing to do and if we do have to force sacrifices upon individuals, in respect of climate change, fairness dictates that the childfree people are left alone.

So remind me again what the whole point of this points scheme is?

If its that easy to get around then everyone will.

not discouraging children? or Logan's Run approach, termination at say 40. the longer you live the greater impact on environment after all.

You don’t chose how long you live for.

You do chose whether or not to have children.

You do realise I am not saying people should not have children. That is not the point I am making. Merely that if we need to take draconian action against climate change, the biggest problem needs to be addressed.

I'm sure that Tricky Dicky will ensure that his staff are adequately compensated. Obviously he'll sell his Caribbean Island Necker to ensure that his employees suffer no hardships.

Friends of mine that work there have been told its the door or a permenant paycut, whilst being reminded how hard it is getting a job these days, lowlife approach by some managers it seems, but having done 12 years there that doesnrt surprise me...

and the biggest problem really is people, not children. so stop people. it amounts to the same thing of course, and propose those in favour of this solution should offer themselves first, in the name of saving the planet.

Which department?

Seems to be a completely different approach to most others?

 

[Baldseagull]

No. Part of the parents allowance would move to the childrens.

I have an inheritance that is set a side for my retirement.

Don’t need to worry about pensions.

Will your inheritance collect the bins, or staff the doctors surgery and the supermarket?

I don’t know to simplify my point further.

Oh well

Both in IT and Pilot admin.

Your point is very simple - you don't like people having children. What you haven't, even once, explained is if people don't have children how pensions will be paid, services provided or indeed the human race survive. Apparently those issues are for people more clever than you.

We’ve had 4 calls today - each going through it all

Managers in tears on phone.

Different world with pilots

I have nothing against people having children. It is their choice.

I merely pointed out that it is the least green thing to do.

If people want to propose moronic ideas about carbon allowances etc, then lets look at what causes the most harm.

Then they get triggered, defensive and they fail to acknowledge that they are the causing the biggest carbon issues

Surely the greenest thing to do at this point in your life would be to end it? #notaserioussuggestion.

How clever and funny of you. Making suicide jokes.

Moron.

Seems I managed to swerve the first cuts.

More to follow.

I’d be shocked if VA survive

I do think this is all to get the loan.
