Virgin A340-600's
Heard that VS are having some operational problems with the new machines and that rostering have screwed up on the selection of crews for recent flights ex-LHR.
Any truth in this VS guys?
I am informed that almost every service out of LHR using the new aircraft has been delayed above average for LHR.

Of course I would expect that new aircraft would experience delays of some sort during the first days of ops.
Normally a competent and switched-on traffic department would anticipate the same and ensure earliest possible boarding of passengers (assuming non-risk situation) and availability of crew in the vicinity.
However, the first 2, perhaps 3 flights ex the same destination I could understand delays being encountered. But surely not almost daily for more than 10 days?
What's wrong with aiming for perfection anyway? Isn't that RB's selling point?
