The trouble with V Australia...

[Best Rate]

###***@@@!!!&&&^^^777 My computer telling me there's a few bitter Red-Rat drivers out there throwing in their (adverse) 3-bob coz they ain't getting their mitts on any of the revered triplers...

(Not that I'm condoning the remuneration / conditions V Aus are offering the group of "potentially - very suitable" candidates...)

You've got to admit though, that V Aus bird's gonna turn a lot of heads at the holding points downunda and abroad...

...V Aus bird's gonna turn a lot of heads at the holding points downunda and abroad...

Maybe. Perhaps. Has the livery been cheapened/sullied by what appears to be an image of part of a forgein flag???

[KittyBlue]

Oh you can't be talking about the union jack as it is apart of the aussie flag? So it must be, I know the letter V !!

[ACMS]

It'll turn a lot of heads just because it's a trippler.

Geez I'm a biased old fart

[Reeltime]

Pretty unoriginal colour scheme.

I guess imitation is the highest form of flattery!

boeing glitch

You'd think that granted its the first of the type for an Oz carrier they (boeing) would try get it done. I thought that not all the machinists were unionised???

Seems like a bad PR thing for boeing that you really think they would want to avoid...

Also, one of the birds in the startup was meant to be an ILFC aircraft, so that might have already made it through.. or they could have others, they are a big leasing company.

All speculation of course.

[Jabawocky]

Sorry Duxnutz, it aint going to happen!

Just to keep ACMS happy........ went on its C1 flight today! Assume it went well, all yours on the weekend apparently!

Ahhh there she is.

thanks for posting the pikkies Jaba.

Now I see! Virtual travel.

Jump in the mock-up, enjoy the inflight service, and when it's over go back to your life.

That's one way to solve the problem of those "in their own little world pilots" the H.R. chick was talking about.

[farrari]

I did laugh K34 , it's called the tardis ! or should I say Vardis

[Little_Red_Hat]

Must sy I'm disappointed with the livery. I was expecting something awesome and original, not a combo knockoff of QF/VS...

Maybe they still have a shed full of red and white paint at the Boeing factory

[abc1]

Word has it,that other than for Cruise FO's,they are scraping the barrel for crew.

[Jabawocky]

MORE BAD NEWS

The first V Oz 777 is sealed up for the duration....... and still has no galleys in it according to those on the job, or maybe this is a cost saving, BYO beer and munchies?



OK so here are some more for ACMS...... nice clean and new office and bunks! And someone left their radio behind.........

[halas]

So the same "torpedo tube" crew rest as EK? It's crap

Where are the EFB's?

halas

[ACMS]

That is the cabin crew rest area in the picture above and believe me thay absolutely LOVE it. In fact twice they were offered an empty first class and over half declined the offer!!

The cockpit crew rest is in the overhead above first class and we LOVE it too. 2 beds, 2 big comfy chairs, 2 big PTV's and PC power if you need it.

So i don't know what you mean.

EFB's are coming soon, but not the Jepp one.

Thanks for the pictures

[Shot Nancy]

So it comes with a hand held radio on the console as standard?
Have they improved the wander lights from the B17?
In some areas Boeing has to be dragged kicking and screaming in to the 21st century.

[ACMS]

Ahhhh jealousy is a curse you know


Actually the cockpit lighting is pretty poor. makes it hard to read the newspaper.

[JetX]

I noticed on the V Australia website there requirements are quite high for CR First Officer and the wages are substantially below par for such experience. Do you think they will really get people with that experience that could go to QF, VB, JQ or others alike........

Would be interesting to know what kind of people are putting in applications....
