Rampsuper. .I don't think Richard Branson is responsible for AN's demise, though DJ's start up certainly didn't help us any. He's an astute businessman who is using AN's exit to his advantage.. .I am not happy with his recruitment practises in the F/A department. Ask any DJ Captain who he'd prefer at the back when the s#*+ hit the fan.. .The whole "we are going to offer An staff 1000 jobs" is a publicity ploy.. .Have friends who sang and danced in their interviews. Most will miss out as they're over 30. Very experienced, intelligent customer service focused individuals, but by VB philosophy ,not worth a chance. More's the pity.. .Until they change these practises I think they'd be dreaming to expect 50% market share. Might appeal to the holiday market but grates on the business one.
