well that is good news with ethihad and virgin. lets hope virgin will expand and bring in some more routes over the next couple of years. do they have crew and pilots based in man or is it gatwick crew. and finally they have brought up a decent pane to cover the orlando route instead of that old 747 200. also why did singapore started using the 777 and the 747 400 on the odd days. is the pax figures low on singapore.
