With a new leader and the 10th anniversary of the airline this year I think we will see some big changes at Virgin Blue.
There will be an increase in regional flying with a turboprop added to claw away at the dominance Qantaslink has in the market. Regional flying has always been big money for Qantas and JB knows this and he will want a share of it.
The E-jets will start new markets and perhaps return to some old ones (Alice Springs and the ISA). You may also find the E-jets operating the ½ hour flights on the golden triangle as at the moment Virgin only operate every hour and only a few flight on the ½ hour in some peaks.
A new uniform for all staff, 10 years with the same style uniform is way to long.
Proper business class added and changes to economy.
