I cant see any dragging of Virgin thru the gutter on this one.
I think it is a very clever marketing ploy they will have have worked out the yield is in surplus, that there will be a few seats not filled on the flights, why not give them away to whomever for whatever they wish.
When the door shuts, any empty seats are just that,....empty.
I was dropping my daughter off the other night QF back to Bris from Perth and after all the pax checked and nearly loaded, they called for the standby pax for not much money, but any money is better than an empty seat.
Watch the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves me ol gramma used to say.
Virgin get a couple hundred thou of exposure for giving away a few empty seats, smart not dumb business
