The so called spin doctoring by Virgin is no different to the spin doctoring done by Geoff Dixon when he rings up John Anderson and whinges everytime SQ or Emirates or some other airline looks at flying more in Australia.
Give them a break, the vast majority of people are hoping that Virgin get the breaks they need. It's only you QF people that look down your noses at anything resembling another airline competing with you. If you didn't have such a self esteem issue Johhny Utah you may actually realise that the Virgin devil you know is better than the AN/SQ/AirNZ devil you unfortunately didnt get to know.
