Sorry to go slightly off thread but I did want to say that I flew with V Blue about 20 times in 2006 and the incident I mentioned was the only one I can recall where I had a "bad" experience and even then it was a pretty minor issue,I only wrote to the management about it as i thought they might appreciate some passenger feedback,in the letter I also complimented them on their customer service,value for money etc.
I have found just about 100% of V Blue staff to be friendly,professional and good at their jobs.
(And the girls are pretty good looking!)
Seriously though,long live Virgin Blue.
