Be interesting if an announcement will be made if the
VB EBA gets up, rumour is that there is pressure from management along the lines of ---Sign the EBA and you will be able to fly regional jets, International flying etc etc. - If not regional jets will be on AWA's.
Can anyone explain why Singapore hasnt tied up with
VB for pacific flying? Singapore already have a tie up with Virgin Antlantic, another equity tie up with
VB would get Branson a link around the world from both ends, Singapore access to the pacific route and provide
VB with aeroplanes, expertise and cash to take on QF in INTL flying.
VB has limited choice but to leverage its low-cost base to provide a viable business competitor to QF in Domestic and eventually INTL flying.
