My son got his wings!!

[wrxppp]

Just wanted to share the fantastic news that my 19yr old son Ryan has just passed his Virgin Atlantic training and on Tuesday evening got his 'wings'. [clap][clap]

He is now a fully fledged 'cabin crew' member for Virgin Atlantic. His first flight is today...to Vegas[msnoo] woop woop

I am soooooooo proud of him. For all those flying from Gatwick to Orlando this year look out for him[msnsmile2]

Thanks guys for your supportive replies. Yes I am so proud, to me he is still 'my boy' but hey I guess this is a motherly term.
I have to say all the crew looked lovely in their uniforms, Mr Branson should be proud too.

I certainly had not realised just how much the cabin crew do...let alone how much they have to know !!!
The training is very intense[msnscared]

I must admit being guilty to thinking 'trolley dolly' but now, having seen what they have to do in the traiing, I have full respect for what the crew have to deal with and the high level of responsability they have each flight.

Then of course there is the discount..ummm I can feel more long haul holidays coming on
