At the beginning of the Formula One season, Richard Branson and the owner of low-cost Malaysian airline AirAsia and the F1 team currently known as Lotus, Tony Fernandes, placed a bet with Branson. Both tycoons happen to own competing f1 teams, and airlines. What were the stakes? The gentleman whose F1 team lost would serve as a stewardess on the winner’s airline. Branson lost the bet.
“He’ll have to work the whole flight. He’ll have to serve, he’ll have to clean, he’ll have to clean the toilets,” says Fernandes.
Branson is sticking to his word and will don a red AirAsia stewardess outfit for a flight between Kuala Lumpur and London. Seats aboard the flight will be auctioned off to raise money for charity.
But in true Richard Branson style, he came back with this;
“The only positive thing is we own 20 per cent of his company so I’ll be able to get some promotion for a company I have a stake in.”
Legend.
The date of the flight is still to be announced.
