Absolutely, Polyanna. A BA Captain has recently resigned honourably, out of a sense of responsibility to his crew, despite his own negative blood test. The Virgin
PR response to Capt [redacted] case has been a lot more impressive and initially supportive IMHO than that seen from BA - is this just being sharper or a symptom of closer, better-informed management. The fallout in media terms has been much greater because it's the third case in the UK media this year and it delayed 383 pax at a difficult time in the travel season. Meanwhile, we wish all the families concerned some respite from this media hell as Christmas approaches. The Press are only doing their job, so perhaps we need union/company emergency funds to fight the story in the public domain in future cases. The truth is irrelevant once the story is dead - only perceptions count. Get me Max Clifford!
