Virgin Blue Schedule Changes - Possible Embraer Routes?
Just searching some flights and have noticed some schedule changes which could possibly a result of integrating the Embraer jets into the fleet. Given the first aircraft arriving in the next few days with Ops starting prob Oct/Nov this would coincide with the schedule changes.
BNE-ROK goes from 3 to 4 daily starting 25 Nov DJ745 dep BNE 1100-1205 and returning DJ 744 ROK-BNE 1235-1340.
BNE-MKY goes from 3 to 4 Daily 30 Oct DJ915 0925-1055.
MKY-BNE goes from 3 to 4 Daily but not until 03 Nov DJ914 1115-1235. Not sure what the a/c will be doing between 30 Oct and 03 Nov after it arrives from BNE and also the turnaround times are 20 mins which makes sense if it is the E170.
MEL-HBA 5th daily flight weekdays/6th daily on and starting 25NOV departing 0700-0815. That same a/c then does a 2nd daily HBA-BNE flt departing 0845-1020 also starting 25 Nov.
Just a few changes I have come accross
Cant wait to see if DJ announce any new routes!!!!

The first Embraer 170 routes are already known. From Oct 23 it will operate a 4th daily BNE-CBR-BNE (afternoon) and a new BNE-CNS-BNE flight (morning).
As the 2nd and 3rd aircraft come in more frequencies are added. No new routes announced as yet (watch this space) - I believe nothing new in terms of routes until the new year?
Other forums have listed the ERJ routes and schedules in some detail

SYD-CBR 7:45-8:40
CBR-SYD 9:10-9:55
SYD-MKY 10:45-12:05 except Saturday (SYD-CBR 10:30-11:25 on Saturday)

A/C 3:
CBR-SYD 6:45-7:40
SYD-ROK 8:05-9:00
ROK-SYD 9:30-12:20
SYD-CBR 12:50-13:45
CBR-SYD 14:15-15:00
SYD-CBR 15:30-16:25
CBR-SYD 17:00-17:45
SYD-CBR 18:15-19:10
CBR-SYD 20:15-21:00 (Saturday only)
I'm surprised that aircraft 2 doesn't do a CBR-HBA or a CBR-OOL (or even squeeze in both and push the CBR-MEL back by half an hour or so) on Saturdays instead of sitting on the ground all day [11:25-19:00] in Canberra on Saturdays.
The 737 that did the SYD-MKY/ROK 15:00 flight [mon,wed,fri to MKY, tue,thu,sun to ROK] instead does SYD-MEL 15:00 and MEL-SYD 17:00 flights once the embrarers begin the MKY and ROK services. The Saturday SYD-MKY flight remains as a 737.
Does anyone have any delivery dates for the 190s?

All current routes will cease by Feb 4. Essentially they were operating on existing DJ routes (and mostly sticking close to BNE) to iron out any issues before launching new services.
Does anyone know when the first E190 is due and what its initial schedule will be?

ok, so the Embraer is just flying standard DJ routes until feb, then they will have their own specific routes????
Is there any website that has this info?
I am a member of Virgin Blue VA and we are trying to keep it as close to real flights as we can, your help has already been excellent

DPO, that will give old Eastwest Loco a boner.
The Brazilian bird still won't in the same class as his English rose the BAE-146.
Eastwest loco has been very quiet, must be propping up the RSL bar in Devonport

I was on a 170 CNS-BNE-CBR on Wednesday. Will be a most welcome alternative to the Dash 8's on SYD-CBR. And to the customer service of EA ground staff, unchanged over many years and corporate mutations.
