Confirmed today.
All 500s gone. Only 6 600s to stay and only in NSW/VIC/ACT.
The only airline in the world that can't make money with ATRs
But don't worry-
"This decision to move to one ATR type will have an impact on Virgin Australia's Regional Queensland flying, however we are currently investigating a number of options to limit this impact, and these will be shared in due course."
Who wants to guess what that means??
