My Theory,
VB currently wants F/O's to take commands at PB on PB T & C's as they believe the company has too many pilots. They are going to ramp up this operation and base pilots in Australia on PB T and C's to operate to Bali, Port Morsby and the like, maybe even domestic in Australia. If these 900's are painted in PB colours its all over for the
VB pilots, as PB will crew them on International routes via Domestic ports (Virgin name cannot be used on International Ops). These pilots will operate these 900's under a new business based in Australia operating for PB, ala a wet lease type of set up.
VB boys, your in for a blue, look at VAus contracts. HR manager has stated that this is the way
VB wants to proceed in the future, private contracts.
PB will become Virgins Jetstar. Its already been a sleeping giant for awhile now. Time to wake to ogar!
