Unhappy Virgin Scaremongering

Tonight the media is trawling around a story that Virgin will launch in the next few days (probably Monday) an advert in the form of a letter from Sir Richard where he says that passengers feel more secure flying with Virgin and their four engine 747s and A340s. It also alludes to security in the US compared with the UK.

If there is any truth to this rumour, I find it amazing that Virgin would take this route. It smacks of desperation and I'm sure Virgin staff would be as mortified as anyone that their company was taking such a route. We are not going to get through this crisis by breaking ranks and casting aspersions on one another.

Hopefully, the media may just be flying a kite and trying to stir things up (in which case I know they've succeeded with me!) In which case I apologise in advance for giving such a rumour credence. On the other hand....
