V Australia Operations DELAYED TO FEB09
HongKongfooey..............ummmm, take a look at our own CX, they have done the same thing a lot of times. The x Oasis guys for one example.
Why do they do it?
1/ screws the rest of us
2/ screws the guys that left
A WIN WIN for them.

Unemployed Americans at one end and Aussies with a currency
down almost 40% at the other.
Branson is an optimist, but with this passenger profile the
chances of survival beyond a few months is slim.
VB pilots should be updating their resumes to EK, not
much recruiting elsewhere.

We get x CX guys coming back on half their original pay.
CX management once again using the "divide and conquer" policy to great effect.

VA CC
I bumped (metaphorically) into a VA Cabin Crew chicky on Thursday. Yoiks!! Talk about eye candy. If the majority of the CC are all like her then VA is sure to be a raging success. The punters will flock.

If the 3rd aircraft to be delivered in mid- March, how are they going to operate daily Syd-LAx, They will require 3 aircrafts alone on this route. On top of that, from 1st March, they are going to start BNE-LAX 3 times a week.
Can anyone verify this?

I would suggest that maybe you should reassess your opinion of loyalty. All the ex ek guys at Vaustralia gave at least 10 years to EK, the bulk of which was training. They then went to the company and said they enjoyed working there and didn't really want to leave the company, but they wanted to move their families back home. The company thanked them for their work and commitment over the 10 or so years and said to most of them that if they ever wanted to come back, they would be most welcome.
From where i sit this is loyalty at its best. No hard feelings, no dishonesty, just the individuals and the company doing what they deem best for themselves. As it turns out, there probably isn't any positions available at EK for some time, but if and when positions arise, i would suspect EK would honour their word and take the guys back.
Anyone that thinks that anyone in the Middle East is spending their time there through loyalty is slightly misinformed. They are there simply because they are hoping to achieve a particular outcome, whatever that may be.
I would accept though that there are a few individuals and families that feel a debt toward EK because of how well EK has looked after them through times of illness or family difficulties. Some of those guys are actually loyal to the company, and i respect them for it.

Ah, yeah! Don't drink and type!
Perhaps some of us should look at the example being set by an employer outside of Australia-and showing a little more gratitude and a little less attitude!
As for V-Australia, I hope it works out for everyone. It's bad to see any business fail.

Two aircraft will allow 6 flights per week (assuming that they are scheduled to depart at the same time each day) so the third aircraft is required to achieve the "daily" service.
No- you only need two aircraft to do a daily service, which is what is going to take place out of Sydney. One for Bribane which will give 3 services a week with one day idle.

farrari is correct, only 2 aircraft to operate a daily service on the SYD-LAX route.
A/C 1 ops days 1-3-5-7
A/C 2 ops days -2-4-6-
They alternate each week.
