agree - although the Boeing delays are not revelations and to pin the decision entirely on Boeing is a little too much spin.
Wirgen makes a good point about leasing alternate airframes - however I maintain that the yeilds from the PAc route have declined (& will continue to for all carriers) and the continuing contraction in the US market means an outbound revenue strategy for V.
For the drivers who are waiting/hoping - along with the CC, it's sad news.
On the upside it may actually herald the start of
VB actually doing something to preserve its business and get it back on track - which is good for the domestic LCC market.
