Virgin Atlantic ITV Documentary

[Darren Wheeler]

Here is all the Info anyone will need about the new 3 part series. Some very interesting comments. For example I had no Idea that it cost £100,000 per seat for an upperclass suite to make it. If you asked me it does not look like its £100,000

Someone in ITV's press office failed press release 101. You don't embargo a release, then place it on a public page.

The modest £12,500 starting salary

Modest?

Understatement of the year!

So are we going to have a V-Flyer social to watch the first episode?

I'm wondering if it will be shown in Scotland as the recent Heathrow one wasn't shown. Never mind these are the days of multi-channel TV and Internet streaming, will see it one way or another.

Fuzzy,

As I am also in scotland i just watch it on youtube when someone puts it up. It really annoys me though that we need to take that action as itv cant show it here, Why I have no idea LOL

For those who don't know next Tuesday is the first episode 7th July

Everyone sitting comfortably with the popcorn then?

I love the Boeing shop! Come on, which V-Flyer wouldn't kill for an hour in there fitting out their dream plane!

Ditto, and the place in Wales who make the UC seats

Well done to Katrine, the "flying nana".

Would love to get on a flight with Katrine. She looks like fun.

Looks like the VS site is unable to handle the visitors!

That place in Wales is where I keep some of my beehives...Llantarnam Abby!

Well that was fun, agreed I also loved Katrine

Good PR for Virgin. Not like that EasyJet doc from years back where it was mostly people complaining at the check in desk!

The enthusiasm of the new recruits, the attention to detail in the manufacture of the seats and the genuine love the staff have for the brand. Sure they were all clapping at the end while watching in The Base tonight.

I wasn't aware that any aircraft had airbag seatbelt straps in PE (as stated by the 787 engineer ) ?.
Nice to see Katrine (an older cabin crew person) getting through her training too .What's with the ridiculous hairpieces though.?

If an airbag in your seat doesn't convince you to turn left what wil . Ha ha

The airbag was kind of a necessity because of the angle of the seats, and also why you can take off and land in reclined position.

Looks like the VS site is unable to handle the visitors!

Indeed. Huge free publicity, potentially thousands of new customers, many ready to book flights and what happens? Their IT lets them down (again). They really must make improving it an urgent priority, and that's where being 49% owned by Delta could play to their advantage.
