Rex and the VB A330
Maybe SAAB is bringing out a shortened version of the 340 to be called the SAAB 330 - the REX guys will be first in line for those jobs. 
I suspect that Buzzy is just enjoying a spot of fishing,

Yes I can understand all the disbelief and notions of fishing etc. Further disengaging an already disengaged workforce seems unreal. Then again RH seems happy to smoke a thousand of his workers just to help a couple of his queens!

CASA is watching (and waiting)
• First A330 pre-application-Okay that didn’t go well at all
• Second on Oct 29th-“Okay, we have something to offer; Skitch ‘em Rex!”
Forget the Queens and the EK mates club, get some experienced and qualified A330 introduction personnel or it will all end in tears

ATT: Crewing / HR Dept of VB/VA / Jetstar / Tiger / Gold etc,
Someone / Anyone; PLEASE put KRUSTY out of his misery and give him a job on a non-propeller driven flying machine! His obsession with this subject is not good, not good at all, I tell'sya!!
Thanks for clearing that up F111
Not quite sure what you're on about Red Jet. No obsession, just thought it a reasonable question.
By the way, the subject of the thread is REX and the VB A330. Have you got your slot yet?

Anyone who thinks the A330 will be domestic only is deluding themselves.
Have a quick think about it. The 777 has shown itself to be too big for Virgin, whilst the 737 was never intended to be medium haul international product.
If Virgin is to move further into medium haul international (Asia) then it will need a mid sized widebody to do it.
Now, i guess it may not be the A330, and could be a 787 or A350, but my money is on the A330 heading up into S.E Asia in the near to mid term future.
I would suggest that those taking under the table deals to (secure?) their future on a widebody, should give a fair amount of thought to the implications of flying yet another Virgin aircraft on international sectors whilst being governed by a domestic EBA (or common law contract). Didn't work last time, probably won't work next time.
I would think the unions would be giving this subject more than just a little consideration.
