Bear in mind that most "Virgin" branded companies are just franchises using the name under licence for which Sir Richard gets a directorship as part of the deal. My understanding is that Virgin Media came about when NTL, Telewest and Virgin Mobile merged. As Virgin Mobile were already licensing the name they chose to use it for the combined business. There is little or no organisational connection between Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile.

I have yet to experience flying with Virgin Atlantic, unless you count the Vickers Viscount service they ran to Dublin about twenty years ago. That was fun. You got a Virgin goody bag (those nice gift bags with fancy rope handles) that contained an oversized bap, a snack or two and a drink (Virgin Cola IIRC). Slightly better than what Sir Richard's mentor, the late Sir Freddie Laker, gave you on SkyTrain where the motto was something like "we invite you to bring your own sandwiches" (I've never flown with them either).
I'd be surprised if Virgin Atlantic's service is as bad as you suggest. I hear a lot of bad things about Ryanair and disparaging comments about their cabin crews but, as a fairly frequent flyer with them myself, I have had little to complain about. On most flights, I gets more than I pays for. I just have an issue about how they charge for credit card transactions.

You might like to re-phrase that. I thought that you were married with kids!
