virgin Atlantic lets male pilots and crew wear skirts to 'express their true identity'

[jeffk]

I find upper class too cattle like, I prefer private jets these days..

Check out the top revenue earner, lads!

I'm more concerned about getting my Retreat Suit with Virgin.

It's got 27" tellies!!

I’m not a big fan of the retreat suit, I like to look out of the windows, but then not a fan of the Neo, much prefer the A350, just feels like you have more room.

I've only ever flown upper class with Virign in the last 20 years.

To be clear, that's bragging.

Every time I’ve flown with virgin I got to sit up front with the pilot and have a go on my pick of the air hostesses.






(OK, so I’ve never flown with virgin but that doesn’t make it untrue)

Ive flow all of Virgins Upper Class suits on all its planes, from the old 747's back and I think the new layout in the Neo is the best.....but the build quality is very poor and it won't last.

Do females wearing man trousers creep you out?

It appears mrwong has (very sadly to me, I liked his posts and his presentations of them, given I suspect English was not his native language), been banned, but for sure men in women's clothing "creep" me out. I'd expect a male pilot to be be something like a WW2 squadron leader, moustached, well spoken, confident and manly without ostentation. Not an effete transgender or cross dresser sashaying into the cockpit in a skirt. I'd be getting off the `plane!

The food is better, they will 'rustle you up' a nice variety of food:

Not sure I agree with their interpretation of a full english though (Quite anemic):

And no issues with skirts on cabin crew..

Rishi is that you?

 

[Noxia]

That's the joke.

I was on a flight back from Naples last week with a actual WOMAN pilot. She even parked the plane correctly

Yes, no doubt, but it was supposed to land in Zurich....

Who cares. It isn't like men wearing skirts is some massively new thing.

Various cultures have had men wearing skirts long before the current stupid culture wars over gender.

 

[StriderX]

Rome literally conquered most of civilisation with skirted men.

 

[Roar87]

Do you 2 wear skirts?

Of which of these "various cultures" were the skirted men pretending or wanting to be women? I think that's the salient point, rather than local or historical fashion....

Be careful lads, Roar's on the hunt...

I do miss the 747's, also miss when you could get a massage onboard the aircraft.

Did it include a mile high happy ending?

Never took advantage of the massage but I do recall a flight back from NYC in the early 2000's when my former wife and I got the entire top level first class to us and 1 old American lady, who fell asleep at take off and woke up at the arrival gate!

We had a seat for dining, a seat for sleeping and a seat for sitting.
