Cool

So Beardy is bleating again huh!

Odd that a man who claims to thrive on enterprise and competition wants the authorities to force one airline to give his airline extra slots.

Sounds a little like crass hypocrisy to me.

But why has he chosen this time to return to this tedious topic? Perhaps his airline is about to go the same way as the rest of his crumbling empire and he is making a pre-emptive excuse.

Hey Guvnor did you tell him about your money-spinning, can't fail, cunning plan. Get him to park his B747-400s, his A340s and cancel his A380 order and instead pack all his fellow woolly pully wearers into - yes, you've guessed it - TRISTARS!



Guvnor this could be your big chance to finally get within a gnat's wotsit of a real airplane.

'Fly Virgin - In our new Guvnor class. Equipped with beautifully restored Tristars you'll be the laughing stock (sorry, envy) of the travelling world.'
