Thinking the answer to his might be obvious but if I could just get it confirmed / denied?

I am a point hoarder / infrequent flier, essentially take a trip to UK every 18 months or so and make sure I get enough to do it in business, I used to do this with just Qantas points, and lived on the mantra of qantas points not qantas metal, essentially I believe if i book a reward seat on a qantas flight i'm probably going to get bumped down a class by someone with more frequent travel / any level of status above my entry level.

Since EK went crazy with taxes ive been using Velocity a bit more the last couple of years, but have never taken a Virgin flight, am I right in assuming that I would be in just as likely to get bumped down a class if I use virgin metal?
