What is the scoop about VK's wet lease agreement with Primaris (757-200 N741PA). I heard the aircraft is being repainted in the UK for imminent VK ops.
Will the plane be used for additional services or substituting?

Rani,
You're quite behind the times. The B757 has been flying for VK for over a week at least and is substituting during C checks on the 767's. No repainting happening as I doubt VK will keep that aircraft type for any length of time.

Thanks a lot for the info. Puts some rumors to rest 
Re the ERJ190 order. Some put it at 3 units, others at 2 units. What is the official breakdown of the 10 firm orders?

You sure about that Mr. Walera? Cos word coming through the grapevine is that this is a new ad/batch VK is advertising for. Out of curiousity I did some searching on the internet and found a similar post from someone who claims to be an insider. Are you holding out on us 
?

Hhhmm....funny the way VK deals with people.
I have done all the tests(assesment) and passed on all 3 phases (stages) in feb 08.
They told me that I have passed on all 3 BUT they had to stop hiring for a while.
And I have heard a few times that they are accepting applications.
Well...I wish they could at least pay me for the expenses to get to London from South America.
Also I try to email them and I have got no answer.
Good luck to all

Any non Nigerians flying for VN? Nothing against Nigerians, just wondering what the backgrounds are. I'm from the U.S and am considering applying for the FO position. What will they be hiring into the next few months and how long does it take from interview to actually flying? Any info would be great.

More Cxld Virgin Nigerian Flights
Your better off looking some where else. Being stuck in LOS with no life and at the companies mercy 24/7, its not pretty. JNB not so bad. VK is not doing so well at the moment... they just cxld 2 more flts today out of LGW on the 767. Last week was the same out of ABJ. Pax taking hostages at the airport when they (VK) decide to let them know they arent going anywhere last week. It wont be long until they start distroying the a/c's and holding the crews hostage. The center of excellance?? No Thank you.. Hope to be out of here shortly along with a few others. Contracts have pretty much came to an end. Its day by day now. Good luck.

Please get your facts right.
Plus, the whole post is an extreme exaggeration of the actual events
