Virgin Blue is established, highly profitable and the number two airline in a very strong domestic economy.

No longer the little Blue battler starting out.

What's more management very publically indulge in the extravagent-Godfrey bought an island off the one of the hottest strips of real estate in Australia.

Just because he doesn't wear a tie doesn't mean Godfrey doesn't know how to screw Virgin employees for his island bonus!

Your suggestion Anti Ice leaves the kitchen would be valid but for the fact his conditions are about half of what the former incumbants offered.

Can anyone tell me if Virgin Blue staff still get their Xmas present from the company? The mixed case of the roughest and cheapest wines in the country. Wholesale value of $40 for the case but a little birdie from XXX XXXX tells me the wine costs Branson nothing, a kickback for stocking XXX'S XXXX wine on board.

"Merry Xmas Staffmember, I am paying you half the industry rate, this gift to you cost me nothing but is a gesture of my good will and gratitude"-Dick.

And Godfrey gets an island!

XXXX-censored for the obvious.
