    That was my first thought too.

    It would look good plastered down the side of their aircraft, wouldn't it.

    Virgin have the most ridiculous complaints policy. They won't discuss an issue over the phone, you have to write to them and they get back to you around three weeks later.

    Which of course helps your simmering resentment when you have a service issue.........

    Supposedly (I've been told by three different people) it's all in their customer charter.... which I've never been able to find.

    This isn't a new "credit crunch" thing - my brother works for them, this amount of job losses have been on the cards for a while now.

    Cable group Virgin Media has said it plans to cut 2,200 jobs by 2012, about 15% of its workforce, as part of a group-wide overhaul.

    Virgin Media said the changes were "critical" to ensuring it was positioned to compete effectively.

    The group said it would not start cutting jobs until the fourth quarter of next year.

    The job losses come after 4,000 jobs were cut in the wake of NTL's merger with Telewest in 2005.



    I suspect these jobs will go to India.
