Skipness one echo
I understand your sentiment re Virgin, however as anyone who has flown with Norwegian will testify their selection criteria is a long way way from the fulsome of breast and shallowness of brains, don't get me wrong they employee some stunning looking crew, girls as well, but being north of 30 or 40 or indeed 50 is not an impediment to gaining your wings at Norwegian, the oldest on our summer's 'butterflies" course was 59, the mantra for selection is customer service, not flight deck night stop fodder.....
Many of the Spanish cabin crew were literally in tears when selected by Norwegian after being laid off by Spanish carriers and thought the flying days were over at just age 35+
You should jump a flight with us some time Skipness I'd love to know your objective post flight opinion, trust me this isn't just another LoCo and that's why we win award after award, hopefully the DoT will grant approval soon, it would be good to see the Red Nose 787 based at LGW.
