Virgin Tycoon To Dress As Flight Hostess After Losing Bet

Sydney, Australia (AHN) – Earlier this year two airline bosses, Tony Fernandes of AirAsia and Sir Richard Branson of Virgin, made a bet that whoever’s Formula One racing team lost in this year’s races would dress and serve as a female steward in the winner’s airline.

And at yesterday’s last Formula One race in Abu Dhabi, Fernandes’ Lotus 1 team won over Branson’s Virgin Racing.

Although both teams completed the season with zero points on Sunday, Lotus was ahead of Branson’s Virgin Racing in the rankings due to Lotus’ better finishing positions.

Branson will now be expected to don a red and “fetching” AirAsia flight attendant’s uniform on a Kuala-Lumpur to London flight on a yet to be announced date.

It’s not all fun and games though, as tickets for the flight will be auctioned off online with proceeds to be donated to charity to ease Branson’s “discomfort,” Fernandes told AFP.

The bet was initiated by Branson, who made a similar bet in July 2003 to then-Qantas airline chief executive Geoff Dixon over whether Virgin would get to fly to Australia in 18 months. The letter was accompanied by a picture of Dixon’s head superimposed on the body of a caped and red-uniformed female flight attendant. Dixon declined the dare.
