"Branson's preaching from inside the 787 mock up on Sky News now.
To quote him on how airlines can help climate change 'we can get airlines to start their descent higher' What?!?!?! "

RB will say anything that he thinks will enhance the Virgin 'image'.
Sadly when the 787 is in service how many will have the 'higher cabin humidity and nearer to sea level cabin pressure' that Boeing are trumpeting as a SLF bonus? How much biofuel will RB save by using less humidity and higher/much higher altitudes in the cabin.
Maybe All airlines should have altimeters on their bulkheads like Concorde had the brilliant Mach Meter! Now that aeroplane had higher humidity and lower altitude in the cabin and it made a huge difference to the feeling of well being after a flight - that and having just outsped a bullet while consuming real food and superb alcohol, unless one was at the pointy end of course!
Remember how RB jumped on the Concorde publicity bandwaggon and said Virgin would take over the service? Someone should have called his bluff!
