Seriously, we have had nearly 20 posts about renaming Virgin to Ansett on the basis of a consortium that Bain is a member of buying the training business that has continued to use the Ansett name. The poster was being sarcastic but, in true web style, it has been conflated as some form of truth and then diverged into repeating arguments from 2001 when AN went under. Let's just say there is ZERO evidence that Virgin has any intention to change its name. It was an attempt at humour.

There is also ZERO evidence that the training business will be integrated at all with Virgin. It is a profitable business that counts all 4 Australian airlines as customers as well as a number of international airlines. The consortium that bought it will want to continue that profitability.
