I was so disgusted with my crew meal once I photographed the tiny dish containing a small bit of anaemic yellow smoked haddock, a few boiled potatoes and a few bits of dull green runner beans. I intended to use it as evidence. The resulting picture lost all scale and showed a large oval dish containing the most wonderfully coloured yellow, large piece of Haddock, some delicious large spuds, and gorgeous green beans! It looked a meal fit for a spoilt Captain. The complaint went no further!

It would appear the writer has now been offered a "job" with VS as a catering advisor.
Given my own pending complaint, which is apparently "currently with Richard Branson's office", I look forward to my new role of Flight Scheduling Director.

Virgin complaint letter lands author a job
A picture of the food on the Virgin Atlantic flight
A man who complained to Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson concerning the catering on a flight from Mumbai to Heathrow has been offered a job.
The letter, which included photographs of the ‘offending’ food, became famous after being sent via email around the world.
Since the complaint, the London-based passenger has received an offer from Virgin giving him the chance to visit the airline’s catering centre to help select a range of meals for future Virgin flights. The mystery passenger has not confirmed if he will take Sir Richard up on his suggestion.
The passenger’s letter amusingly describes the opening of his in-flight meal like being given a “dead hamster at Christmas”.
He went on to say. “Imagine being a twelve year old boy Richard. Now imagine it’s Christmas morning and you’re sat their with your final present to open. It’s a big one, and you know what it is. It’s that Goodmans stereo you picked out the catalogue and wrote to Santa about. Only you open the present and it’s not in there. It’s your hamster Richard. It’s your hamster in the box and it’s not breathing.”

Update
Sadly, I didn't get the job.
For this guy, international fame and a new career as a consultant chef.
For me, 10,000 miles and a nice letter.
Next time, I shall provide a multimedia extravaganza with video, stills and copy it all to the world press
