I heard about it too. Apparently it was over a seat allocation. It’s sad to see these days that people would harm someone else just over a pitiful seat allocation. On the last flight I took with Virgin Blue (Coolongatta to SYD) I was stuck down the back with a two-year-old screaming for the entire flight in the row behind me! I have to say it wasn’t fun, but it wasn’t worth harming someone for it.

Is it a DC-10?

:confused:

From what I’ve read about Ryanair (I live in Australia) , it seems that they don’t give a toss about anyone but themselves really. I also saw that show about Easyjet and I liked it. If I’m going to fly around Europe with a low-cost airline, I’ll take Easyjet over Ryanair.

Congrats Gaurav! I’ll be doing my training in Australia. I’m starting the Advanced Airline Course at Basair Australia in October. The course will also get me a turbine rating on the EMB-110 Bandierante and a Flight Instructor’s Rating. Who knows, I might see you around some European Airport in the near future. I’ll be the 171cm tall QANTAS pilot with black hair and brown eyes, which just about describes a sizable percentage of the pilot population.

On the “everyone likes Virgin” theme, I believe Virgin Blue bought an island in a Queensland river estuary.

Indeed you’re right Mongu, and the Virgin staff deserve it. Every flight I’ve been on with them has left on time and arrived early. Their cabin staff are very professional and cheerful, and the snack service is good too, although you have to pay for it, but it’s reasonably priced.
