The A332s were all returned to lessors and the crews made redundant. Likewise for the 777 crew though I heard that it is possible for them to return to VA in the future if they are happy to join short-haul crew.
Of the 5 77Ws, one was leased (VH-VOZ) and this plane has been returned to lessor. The other 4 were owned and remain parked. I'm unsure who actually owns these planes now as they were encumbered so it is possible they are now owned by the banks that lent money to pre-administration VA and who took the 777s as security. Either way, the market for pre-owned 77Ws is dire so they probably won't be flying for anyone anytime soon.
