EI-CFC,
If not, you're commenting why???
You know, I wasn't going to bite as I tried to end the antagonism with a smiley, but seem seem as that went whoosh, I bite.
Whether or not I've flown DJ or not..well, that's for me to know. I've flown many airlines, many places (we do occasionally leave this little island of ours..), so you'll just have to have your own view.
As for commenting, why should I not? Anyone, experienced or not can comment if they feel like it. Even those who might have never flown DJ can have valid opinions.
As for people who say "I won't fly Virgin again" etc - you hear that everywhere..Ryanair, easyJet, Southwest - you name a low cost carrier, someone out there will have a beef with it. Yet, on the whole, they seem to be doing ok - so there must be enough happy people to keep them afloat! Some people just won't fly with a LCC, or have their expecations dented..but that's life!
Also, you can't compare Virgin Blue to Virgin Atlantic, yes they may have the same kind of ethos, yet they are completely different. Virgin Atlantic is a full service international airline with a completely different product flying on completely different aircraft. Virgin Blue is a low cost, domestic airline with a very limited product flying again on completely different, one class aircraft.
From what I know of the company, they seem to look for different aspects of the so called "Virgin flair" in nearly all their different brands.
