While I dont want to go into a slanging match, there are numerous things that make the virgin operation look sloppy.

Aircraft frequently taxiing into the bay with landing flaps still set, or speed brakes not stowed, landing lights/strobes still on. One memorable crew got on blox with all of this happening.

Latest rumour going around is involving an engine mount(someting about it having to be removed) and lost paperwork, CASA threatening to ground the fleet as the lost paperwork tells them which a/c its on.

Ground crew (rampies) have started to develop an attitude that make the Qantas guys look modest in comparison. They think they own the whole damn airport.
