In case you were all too busy ready cleo in the back galley and ignoring the call bell in the asile that is the real world

lizzydizzy,
Only on crew rest honey. And perhaps it is you who should stop reading Cleo as its aisle, not asile. That is all.

VB won't go down - even with V bleeding cash
V Australia will be making money sooner than expected down the track, and load factors are surprisingly usually very high in business class and freight is going really well. Heard full business class + current frieght agreement = breakeven per flight.

Remember, Virgin Blue will come ahead around 2 million in savings due to new crew starting off on lower base salaries alone. Although they will accrue to 5th year salary conditions after 4 years service, there will always be new crew hence cheaper base salary crew. Forever.
