Virgin Atlantic Little Red

Virgin Atlantic Little Red (also referred to as Virgin Little Red and Little Red) was a British airline subsidiary owned by Virgin Atlantic and operated on a wet-lease by Aer Lingus. It was created in 2012 as a way to provide competition for aviation giantBritish Airways (BA) on UK domestic flights from London Heathrow Airport however the airline ceased operations in 2015 following low passenger numbers.

History

In 2012, British Airways took over British Midland International (BMI) which gave them a monopoly on UK mainland flights from Heathrow. In order for the deal to be completed, the European Union Competition Commissioner decreed that BA would have to give up 14 of BMI's landing slots at Heathrow to comply with EU competition regulations. 12 of these slots were set aside for domestic usage, which were bought by Virgin Atlantic after they outbid Aer Lingus for the required British domestic operating licence. Virgin announced that they would set up a Virgin Atlantic Little Red as a subsidiary to use these slots to cover domestic UK mainland routes as Aer Lingus already provided competition for BA on flights to Northern Ireland from Heathrow. Little Red was later revealed to be operated on a wet-lease by Aer Lingus whereby the planes would be operated by Aer Lingus but would bear Virgin Atlantic Little Red livery. The pilots and crew would be employed by Aer Lingus but would wear Virgin Little Red uniforms and had training from Virgin, despite the fact that airline had not previously operated narrow-body aircraft.

Crimson (wrestler)

Tommy Mercer (born February 21, 1985) is an American professional wrestler, best known for working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Crimson. He has also worked for TNA's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he is a former one-time OVW Heavyweight Champion and a two-time OVW Southern Tag Team Champion with Jason Wayne. Prior to signing with TNA, Mercer worked under his real name for various promotions on the independent circuit, including Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW), NWA Main Event and Showtime All-Star Wrestling (SAW). Mercer served five years in the United States Army, which included two tours of Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Early life

Mercer was born and raised by a single mother in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended North Ridgeville High School, where he played football and basketball, but wasn't able to continue to pursue a career in either of them without an athletic scholarship. After graduation Mercer joined the United States Army in order to fund his college studies. He ended up serving for five years, which included two tours of Iraq in the 101st Airborne Division as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Little Red Corvette

"Little Red Corvette" is a song by the American musician Prince. Released as a single from the album 1999 in 1983, the song was his biggest hit at the time, and his first to reach the top 10 in the U.S., peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It was also his first single to perform better on the pop chart than the R&B chart, due to the pop/rock format of the song.

The song combines a drum machine beat and slow synth buildup for the verses and a full rock chorus. Backing vocals were done by Lisa Coleman and the guitar solo was played by Dez Dickerson. In the song, Prince narrates a one-night stand with a beautiful but promiscuous woman (the "Little Red Corvette" of the title); although he enjoys the experience, he urges her to "slow down" and "find a love that's gonna last" before she destroys herself. In addition to the title, he uses several other automobile metaphors, for example comparing their lovemaking to a ride in a limousine.

A 12" dance remix of the song was released to accompany the single, and it continues where the album version fades out. The U.S. single was originally released with the album track "All the Critics Love U in New York" as the B-side, while in the UK two separate single releases had it backed with "Lady Cab Driver" or "Horny Toad". Separate UK 12" releases had the song paired with "Automatic" and "International Lover", or "Horny Toad" and "D.M.S.R.". Later, it was released as a double A-side with "1999".

Little Red (Saranac Lake, New York)

    Little Red Corvette

    by: Prince

    I guess I should've known by the way
    You parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last
    See, you're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once
    Love 'em and leave 'em fast
    I guess I must be dumb
    'Cause you had a pocket full of horses
    Trojan and some of them used
    But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
    And you say, "What have I got to lose?"
    And honey, I say Little Red Corvette
    Baby, you're much too fast
    (Oh)
    Little Red Corvette
    You need a love that's gonna last
    I guess I should've closed my eyes
    When you drove me to the place where your horses run free
    'Cause I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
    Of the jockeys that were there before me
    Believe it or not, I started to worry
    I wondered if I had enough class
    But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
    And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?", Oh yeah
    Little Red Corvette
    Baby, you're much too fast
    (Yes, you are)
    Little Red Corvette
    You need to find a love that's gonna last
    (Oh, oh)
    A body like yours oughta be in jail
    'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene
    Move over, baby, gimme the keys
    I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine
    Little Red Corvette
    Baby, you're much too fast
    Little Red Corvette
    Need to find a love that's gonna last, hey hey
    Little Red Corvette
    Honey, you got to slow down
    (Got to slow down)
    Little Red Corvette
    'Cause if you don't, you're gonna run your little red corvette
    Right in the ground
    (Little Red Corvette)
    Right down to the ground
    (Honey, you got to slow down)
    You, you, you got to slow down
    (Little Red Corvette)
    You're movin' much too fast, too fast
    Need to find a love that's gonna last
    Girl, you got an ass like I never seen, ow
    And the ride
    I say the ride is so smooth, you must be a Limousine
    Ow, baby, you're much too fast
    Little Red Corvette
    You need a love, you need a love that's, uh, that's gonna last
    (Little Red Corvette)
    Babe, you got to slow down
    (Y got to slow down)
    Little Red Corvette
    'Cause if you don't, 'cause if you don't
    You're gonna run your body right into the ground
    (Right into the ground)
    Right into the ground
    (Right into the ground)
    Right into the ground
