Air hostesses role in bringing you peanuts and drinks is secondary to their real role of crowd management and response in event of emergencies.
Their primary job is to tell you what to do in the event of an emergency and keep as many people from dying/killing others. They are safety marshals first and foremost.
This ad shows that safety is no longer Virgins #1 priority.
Virgin Australia were effectively trading insolvent for more than a decade. Bailout money from their foreign owners saved them, but let’s just say… “Safety” wasn’t really their main concern…
And having flown on them since they collapsed and were bought out, mid-pandemic..? Let’s just say I don’t think the airline is long for this world, lol…
But they’ll limp on for a while, because letting them fail would be a disaster for competition in this country.
Admittedly, “Virgin” is just a brand. But I’m fairly confident that Atlantic operates fairly similarly, if with more of an… “International” bent, lol.

Have you flown on any of the Virgin Group airlines recently (particularly in Aus)..??
It hasn’t been anywhere near their top priority for the best part of a decade…
That’s not exactly news.
I have not no. Guess I haven't missed much.
