Just had a steward telling me on the bus, how good Branson and his management team are After all they made a great big profit and BA didn't so it must be down to poor BA management

I pointed out that if you scratch beneath the surface of VS results you actually see that they only just broke even, and that the VS results did not include the month of March which saw the biggest drop in premium traffic across the globe.

He replied that the VS fuel hedgers were much better than BA, cos they only spent a £1billion on fuel last year and BA spent £3billion. Shame I needed to spell out that BA are over 3 times the size of Virgin................... I then suggested that if he thought VS were that good perhaps he should apply, nah after 24 years at BA I thought not
