Virgin 2.0 to swap A330s and B777s for Boing 787s

"Latest reports on the shape on 'Virgin 2.0’ say the administrator's vision for the new airline includes replacing its six Airbus A330s (all leased) and five Boeing 777-300ERs (one leased, four owned) with eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners"

This was on the cards anyway, well not the B787s of course, but JB talked several times about moving to a single type, Paul Scurrah was also known to want out of the A330 leases and get rid of the A330 anyway, so moving to that single type would also have been part of his plan. It really sounds like the administrators are simply presenting Scurrah's plan to the bidders, what with Deloitte's earlier comments about keeping LAX and Tokyo, keeping most of the fleet and most of the employees.
