Not totally accurate as a report Jetnut
It wasn't ticket price fixing, it was to do with the amount to be charged as a fuel surcharge on top of the ticket price, which is something altogether different.
It is also true that Willie Walsh has said he doesn't blame Virgin Atlantic for blowing the whistle and suggests he would have done the same if BA Senior management had found out before the VS Senior management did.
It seems that both airlines had middle/junior management who stupidly saw nothing wrong with what they were talking about, but it was VS who realised the problem first and acted quite properly. I would hazard a guess that careers have suffered in both airlines as a result.
Only one airline was
caught doing something wrong, the other airline confessed its wrong doing at the first opportunity.
