Let's be real for just a moment gentlemen.

Virgin Blue's advertising, marketing and employment tactics are so very obviously geared towards the young 20ish attractive female with great hair and a nice smile. Just take one look at the Virgin Blue billboards around Sydney domestic airport and you will see not one person over 30 smiling back at you.

This is not to say that they don't hire anyone over 30, but I sure as hell haven't seen one!

I wish the ex-Ansett crew the best of luck - maybe this will be just the kick in the bum DJ needs to start recognising the skills and abilities of those who don't fit into the stereotypical DJ image.

PS. For the record, I don't understand a word of German.
