No we were not particuarly happy that all the international flying was being done out of CHC, especially when we had been working towards it for so long... but hey at the end of the day if you gotta eat sh*t you gotta eat sh*t, and we welcome our Pacific "Bro's" with open arms and look forward to seeing them on BNE/MEL overnights...
As far as the Pacific Blue a/c that you have seen in Perth, they are all VH registered ones. I believe (open to correction) that Pacific Blue is operating ZK-PBA and ZK-PBC at the moment (ex virginblue VH-VOO and VH-VOQ, again open to correction). VirginBlue are still operating I think 2 737-800's that are done up in Pac Blue livery and VH registered (VH-VOP/VH-VOR?). From what I understand, those aircraft will be doing some of the international flying out of australia, but CHC based cabin crew, and potentially some aussie tech crew? From what I have heard there is now a separate company registered as Pacific Blue Australia...
All of this is open to correction though, does anyone from CHC have any input?
