V Australia to announce expansion to 25 aircraft over the next 5 years orders include the 787, more 777 and more A330s for VB. Asia is on the destination list along with India and Canada. Management keeping the current EBA salaries down to enable the hiring of new pilots to a minimal expense for the expansion.
And where is the $$ for this spending spree going to come from? They've converted hard orders for 777s to options due to lack of profitability and demand, good luck to getting your hands on a 787 this side of 2015 (that's IF the delivery schedule for this aircraft isn't pushed back yet again). I suppose you'll be telling us they have an A380 on order soon...
