The "Wings Ceremony"

[preiffer]

So, during a bit of random clicking, I came across this video on YouTube. Have to say, QUALITY!

There are quite a few more too, but this one's pretty cool. It turns out that each group of CC have to do *something* at the end of their course to celebrate - this lot just seemed to go the extra mile...!


So, can anyone spot anyone they know? [:w]

Very good. I did wonder what on earth they were going to do to begin with....[:I]

The crew now no longer do the song and dance performance at their wings ceremony. it recently stoped when the wings ceremony moved to the new auditorium at the new training centre i belive.

My only memory of the Virgin Cabin Crew training is off the BBC "Airport" programme [going back a few years too]. One of the recruits they followed - seem to remember her being called something like Ginny - had failed the Aircraft Safety module of the training twice & was on her last chance re-take of the exam. She was literally handed the 747 safety manual open on the pages with the information that she needed to learn (slightly worrying!)

She subsequently passed the exam & a few episodes later, we saw her "graduate". The group sang a song of some kind for SRB, who ISTR was present at the "wings" ceremony.

Oh how boring! This really sums up what it means to be a part of the Virgin Cabin Crew family for me.

VITB,

I think fozzyo was AGREEING with you

He was refering to the fact it was scrapped as being the "boring" bit.

Oooh you psychic you Paul, intuiting VITB's response...
