Virgin - 2
qwertyuiop - what total bo!!ocks you write. Please deal in facts. What proof have you of, and I quote:
The way things are going Virgin will not be here in 12 months
Making up stories is different to rumours

Yes its good fun speculating on peoples futures, isnt it? I admit the bearded one does no one any favours with the constant PR war but for gods sake, some people are like a baying mob at a cock fight just hoping another airline goes under so they can say 'I told you so', onanists...

The next person who makes an irresponsible and totally unfounded comment about VS's future plans will be gone!
It is STUPID to make such comments and anyone who does is on warning.

350's
aero.de are running the story.
The article is in German but here is a part quote translated by yahoo
quote
"LONDON - the airline Virgin Atlantic Airways stands with airbus in negotiation over up to 50 airplanes of a350 XWB series. The machines could be delivered starting from the year 2014 to the modernization of the long-distance fleet and replacement Boeing 747-400, communicated Virgin Atlantic after publication of an order of six A330-300. Virgin Atlantic orders over 13 Boeing 747-400"

more redundancies?
So it's like this - the wife has just text me to say that there are to be another round of redundancies.
She's cabin crew (former IFBT who went through all that palavor already) and has said that they're looking for another 406 to go, on top of those crew (amongst other staff) who have already gone this year.
I've found the story on BBC site talking of wanting to shed another 600 odd staff - just wondering if anyone else has heard about this, or if there is any foundation to this bad news.
Can anyone else help?!
cheers

True about the 406 cabin crew.... Just spoke to a friend of mine (who's cabin crew with Virgin) who has received a letter about the redundancies... She also mentioned more flightdeck redundancies but she doesn't know how many...Bad times!

From September Virgin Atlantic are reducing the baggage allowance in PE and Upper Class
PE will have the same allowance as Economy 2X 23Kg (from 2 X 32Kg) and UC goes from 3 X 32 Kg to 3 x 23Kg
Virgin Atlantic Airways - Popup
So now what is the difference between PE and Economy? just the seat pitch?

Luggage charges retrospective?
I’d already booked some Premium Economy transatlantic before the new low limits were announced and am not best pleased with the reduction.
I’ve just booked a couple more P.E. transatlantic flights and was being quoted the “old” luggage allowance at every point, leaving me a little puzzled as to what’s what. (But remember I’m getting old [I’ve even flown Palmair] so easily confused).
