Grey ads and Beardy fliers
I am surprised when fellow pilots are so blinded by their pet hate, journos, that they can't see the obvious:
This was a classic example of what media ethics watchdogs call Grey Advertisement, a quasi-illegal practice which can never be proven but only surmised from circumstantial evidence. Like when the Beardy owner of Virgin, also happens to be the owner of the "owner" of the PPRuNe website, as divulged in a neighbouring thread two months ago:

sinala1, gilson was hinting that the owner/founder of PPRuNe now flys 747s for Virgin and hence works for the bearded cardigan. For the avoidance of any doubt, I'm sure that this has absolutely no bearing on the content of this site.
Back to the topic - female cabin crew in stockings are by no means unusual on BA flights either, but wild horses could not force me to divulge how I know this ...

For the record, can confirm that the Bearded One does not own PPRuNe and does not influence Danny editorially. Can also confirm that the Moon landings were real, and that Oswald was alone.
Interesting first post gilson - Where to next?

Well, a very charming (size 10) BA 'hostie' I got to know rather well on a Bermuda nightstop many years ago didn't wear stockings. In fact underneath that little black dress, as I was to find out later, all she wore was......
Sorry - this is a family channel. Not jet blast!
Let's just say they were small, black and lacy....
Jeremy Clarkson is a top chap, in my view. But idiots such as enviro-fundamentalists insist on confusing his TV image with everyday life.

What has not been widely reported is that Kate Moss was in the new Virgin lounge on the day he travelled. She apparently approached him saying " I know the face.....but have we met?".
Replied our hero, "It's Jeremy Clarson love, I do Top Gear".
"Ah" say's Kate, " In that case I'll have five grams please....."

Well, I'm off to SFO on VS19 on Monday, but if I find Jeremy Clarkson in the Virgin lounge wearing stockings and suspenders, I'll switch back to Speedbird 287 . Er, is that what this thread is about?

Just for info, Gilson is a Greek journalist with a conspiracy fetish. He has posted on PPRuNe under several pseudonyms including War Drills and Condor3days. He believes that I am trying to surpress his theories about some sort of cover up on the Helios crash. He friend, a retired lawyer has also warned me that Gilson is also one of the few very secret freemasons who actually control the world and that I'd better be very careful because he has very powerful allies and can cause me much harm. Oh, and he has threatened to sue me for an eight figure sum in pounds sterling. To be honest, I haven't been holding my breath.
As for his deduction that because I am a pilot for Virgin Atlantic therefore Richard Branson must control PPRuNe... well... do I need to say more?
May I recommend www.nutters-r-us.com

Blimey, the SLF forum honoured by an appearance of Captain PPRune. Its one heck of a thread that in 2 pages goes from Clarkson and womans underwear to freemasonery and world domination.

I have control.
I'd like to confirm that both Richard Branson and I are also secret freemasons controlling the world which is why I could be found in the Virgin clubhouse in SFO on Sunday still looking for our other colleague and co-conspiritor, Jeremy Clarkson. Captain PPRune, was, of course, in command of VS020 -- and he was in control of everything that mattered to the rest of us at that time.
"Virgin two zero turn left heading one twenty degrees to establish -- that all conspiracy theorists are nuts."

Jeez, pretty sad (and frightning?) that a journalist has to resort to this type of behaviour and these threats, albeit through a third party.
It's a good thing that that in fact I control the world - oh, and womens' underwear too!

I've been crew and ground staff for VS and have yet to meet someone who wears stockings and a suspender belt like he suggests!
Hold ups, yes, we all do, but i think he may have been wishful thinking!!!
I wanna know what took him so long to write the article. He flew with us months before that was published, but i'm glad he did write it.
For a business class pax, you really can't beat the full VS Upper Class service.

nutters-r-us, Bilderbergers, freemasons?
None of those control the world.
As Jeremy Clarkson will probably agree, the real control freaks are the ba$tard Health and Safety people! Aided and abetted by loony enviro-fundamentalists.
