VB as it stands cannot compete with JQ`s minimal staff and structure on the LCC front, full stop. And although QF has itself become a joke, it is still a better performer when it comes to premium service than VB`s half hearted attempt. The longer VB straddles the fence between services, the more money they will continue to lose my friends.
Last time I check the annual report it was the "Middle of the road" Viregin Blue operation (DJ) making the money and the "Full Servcie" carrier losing it. (VA)

Keeping The Car Fair !!

Oh Great.The worlds largest tosser is back is he ?
Let me guess - There will be stunts, quirky gimmicks, trussed up trolls hanging off his every move, SRB bleating about wait for it 'how Australians have been getting ripped off with car insurance by duopoly's for to many years, and SRB is here to save us squillions of dollars because he is just a nice guy' ????
Complete folly.I hope the employee's who will be working for this 'Insurance Money Grab' have been warned that the company they will be working for will be a 'smoke and mirrors outfit' and they will be paid crap money but promised great career advancements while being shafted and working for a bowl of rice salary'.
Anything associated with SRB can be compared to a 'toffee coated turd'. Once you lick the toffee off the top there is nothing but pure ****e underneath.

Keeping the post fair !!

Well well well.It would seem that the name 'NeedABiggerHammer' has something to do with your undersized genitalia,hence your underlying dismay and pent up anger at some truthful facts been pointed out about your beloved employer ??
Lets start :
Good morning Cactusjack - Hopefully we got out of bed on the right side today of are you always just a narrow minded, self opinionated, uneducated moron...
Firstly,I did sleep well last night,thank you for asking. And yes,we did get out of bed fine,I had a great nights sleep now that you have lost that extra 90kgs and have stopped snoring.I no longer have to roll off you three times !
Next :
I suppose you have worked for or have executive first hand knowledge of all the Virgin Holdings group of companies and therefore are able to make such an educated (sic) comment on the groups employment policy and contractual conditions.
Actually yes, MORON. My comments are not based on narrow mindedness or on opinionated ramblings.They are based upon true factual experience , which earns me the right to speak as I please. My guess is that you are a corporate footstool,upset that your idol, mentor and puppeteer SRB has been disparaged.I have first hand knowledge and experience with your 'idols', and lets just say it was in higher roles than you,footstool.
Perhaps you are waiting eagerly in the wings of one of these fantastic companies,scraping barely enough of a living together,but happy to be invited to monthly BBQ's and having your ears tickled by stories of 'big things to come' in your career ?

More :
I on the other hand do and I can assure you that both here and in Europe there are many thousand VGH employees who are doing just fine..
Aah, I dont need any assurances from you footstool, thanks but no thanks.As for the many thousands of employees who are doing just fine, well thats great.Good for them, as I certainly dont have any ill feelings towards them,remember,I too was once indoctrinated and brainwashed in that brotherhood until I broke free, so my heart actually reaches out to them !! But it doesnt reach out to you, you pompous knob.

A little bit extra :
Is there any chance you could elaborate on your obviously well researched comments as I would love to read them my friend
Firstly, my comments arent 'well researched',as you put it, they are based on real life experience,much better than limp wristed research, which is no doubt your arena.
And secondly, do I need to release archived information, intimate detail in the form of putting pen to paper.No.I could, but why air all the dirty linen ? Its best to leave it hidden away for others to experience like I have.

And lastly,'NeedAbiggerHammer', people like yourself can be compared to'polishing a turd'. It doesnt matter how hard you rub it, carress it, buff it,polish it or massage it - Its still a turd !!

Another one bites the dust

Yet another thread turns into a competition between two children about the comparative size of their genitalia and who is more right than the other. This whole forum is going down-hill. It is frustrating looking through all this rubbish to find the 5% of good useful information and grown-up discussions that would be expected on a forum centred around a 'profession'. I wonder if there is a medicine forum, or a law forum that has posts by people that clearly don't know each other, slanging each other off and comparing the size of their bits?
Bye Prune, off to Anet with the adults.

1. Car Insurance

2. Inspected a "fair/fare" sized Boat at Newcastle- platform for a Submarine Venture "Virgin Marine/Maritime" or some such............. deep sea exploration.

3. Will be inspecting work on Makepiece Island (behind Noosa).

4. Hosting a Birthday BBQ/Party????.
