What I don't get is why they then denigrate Virgin. It suggests that Qantas Media probably wrote the story for them. But I don't think it comes across well when this is the quote in the article:
"It's probably one of the rowdiest landings I've ever had," Mr Harrington said. "I do some crazy stuff in helicopters across Alaska, Greenland and New Zealand and land in snowstorms, but this one certainly took the cake. It was the most incredible storm ever.
"[The plane] was going up and down and sideways. I looked around and could see some ladies certainly hyperventilating.
"We knew we were going to be in for one hell of a ride."
I'm not suggesting that the crew did anything wrong its just that having that quote in the article gives it a different perspective.
