I would like to say I was actually pleased with the experience on Vigin Blue having been sceptical ahead of taking the plunge based on a recommendation.
Booking was easy. Done by their website. Easeir than most.
Flight on time.
Service was what they promised.`No surprises there.
Yes they were blonde and smiled... more than most on QF/AN. Were kinder on the eyes than most in QF/AN!
Price was better than ID50 on QF/AN.
Emergency situation - well if the boys up front have a problem the cabin crew actually are not going to make much difference. Cabin briefings are never/seldom watched and luck usually prevails IF - god forbid - there is a problem.
On balance I would do it again. rates way w-a-y ahead of Southwest, America West or the like, both of whom I flew in the last month.
ANZ would not have Sir Ric offered US$250m if it was a loda junk.......
Need a few more 'Robin Hood' airlines like Blue.

I don't know who you are Ditch, but answer me this, if RB is so good, and looks after his staff, why does he pay a Cabin Manager $30,000? You could ean more answering pnoes in an office, yet as a CM you are looking after staff, and are a saftey professional. It is a very low wage, and I'm not just comparing it to the Airlines, it's a low wage for all of Australia. It is disgusting, he says he looks after his staff, pay them a living wage for gods sake, actions speak louder than words....I cannot repsect someone who uses people for cheap labour.

Guys and Gals - What a day!!!!!!!!!
At least the "BIMBOs" "BLONDES" & Guys have one thing in their favour if they are all under 30 - That being they are NOT 89ers.
The flight deck is 'recruited' from "guys I've known from the past" and the second ? you are asked is "where were you in 89?"
You'al have a nice day noow
