The IFBTs have been told this afternoon that their jobs are under threat of redundancy and that they will now enter a consultation period (as per employment law requirements) to ascertain whether these roles are required and if not, what other roles the IFBTs might switch to. A great shame, and my sympathies go out to the IFBTs.
So, VS is more than likely to stop offering in-flight beauty treatments. Which means there is now one less reason to fly with the airline. With others gaining ground (and even overtaking) in terms of seating then I for one will be looking at a much wider range of options for some of my US flights, in fact this year will be the first in 7 years I don't renew my FC Gold status. The VS seat, bar and LHR Clubhouse is great, but balance that against lousy food, inconsistent service in the air, patchy facilities beyond the UK and small route network.
