Single Type? What kind of nonsense is this you speak of?




Was around 2004-2005 when Brett Godfrey was giving one of his staff roadshows, I was in the crew room with the rest of the staff listening to him as he was extolling the virtues of single type. One of his statements was "as long as my bum is in this seat (referring to the CEO position), Virgin Blue would only ever be a single type operator"...

Wasn't too much later, the E180's started showing up, then the tripler, dirty 330, ATR's, Fookers, even 320's... So much for single type!!!
