Jesus what a bunch of moaners. Virgin are putting on a fun, informative day for 10-25 year old. What is wrong with that, who cares if it is for PR? I think it is admirable that they would do this, mainly for kids.

I knew I wanted to be a pilot from an early age and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit the flight deck multiple times during my childhood. Not possible today, so if some kids (10 years old and above) want to learn more about a career in aviation and VS are putting on a day for that whats the issue? If your kid wants to embark on any career that has a lot of competition are you going to stifle their aspirations as odds are against them?

Sounds like a good thing to inspire kids, regardless of the motive.
