The demise of Virgin over many years was obvious on the front line. Virgin management and those true believers who had their snouts entrenched in the Virgin trough thought the party would last forever....Day in day out you could see the damage that was being done. Problem was when you raised issues you were quickly given excuses why it was so, sometimes to the point of questioning your own sanity. Everyone will remember that "big picture" garbage that was spruiked so often. One thing for sure out of this mess is there is now a laser beam focus on excuses in the 737 operation. People are going to be needing to watch their backs cause Bain are going to ensure they get a return on their investment.
