Virgin ramp staff could be seen waving at the aircraft AND giving it the finger and laughing. AN staff unloaded their aircraft and
VB staff drove nearbye on their tugs and were again laughing and giving the AN ground staff the finger. I will not only never forget that, but I was absolutely shocked and disgusted. Ansett, although financially failing, always offered superb service and looked and acted professional. The Virgin reaction was unbelievably disgusting. I am glad they eventually grew up somewhat and can only hope that none of their people received a return serve the day they went into Administration. It’s just not cricket.
The Virgin reaction? Only a bitter old fool would think the actions of some were the feelings of all. Tuck it in pal.
