Did either one of you consider that those quotes are not Euros? Or that England and Great Britain does not use Euros?

Have we done anything against MESA AIR GROUP, AIRTRAN, and God knows who else..
Like I said to get to talk about this would waste you time and mine, since we will always find something to disagree on.
Remember we are pilots...
Respectfully.

I also used the pound symbol - £ to clarify as opposed to the euro symbol - €.

Having said that, I must say I am not impressed with what senior Virgin Atlantic captains are getting paid for flying 747s all over the world... They must be getting some other incentives, company stock, etc...
