They are keeping it hush of course, dont want the media to get involved. I am not saying there was any safety related issues just that ash was found deposited in some VB aircraft, thus why VB has now been straight off the blocks to cancel services this time round, as they say what goes around comes around! 
Haha post proof? well lets make this site redundant then! FFs..

Fixes the ATC shortage some what
So would the Europe/USA flights be better sent to Brisbane, at least then they have a slim chance of getting to where they want to go. I know it would not suit everyone.

Was interesting today...Could be a little worse tomorrow.
Heard crossing traffic a330 - citation - and metro all at fl160
And again a few hrs later at fl190...
Pretty obvious during daytime operations, no news that I've heard that anyone has damage or encountered anything - all pretty boring stuff
Cmon sensationalist media let's get some good gossip going

Maybe some valet parking tugs would help 
.
Spookily quiet on webtrack.
I see on the news that Greyhound are putting on extra buses and Hertz et al must be raking it in, so it's an ill wind that blows no-one any good, even when it's got ash in it. Kudos to the airlines who are putting people up in hotels etc, it's not like an ash cloud was their fault.
Sometimes we humans forget how vulnerable all our little toys are when it comes to forces of nature.

Jabber, will be in Casino visiting the 'lations on the 8-10 July, then taking the slow route back home to be home by the 14th. Doin' it on the bike.
Beer o'clock?
AoA, dunno who you work for, but our company is quite open and proactive with communication on this matter. Nothing has been mentioned re ash being found in aircraft.
Therefore, your assertion is once again a furphy.
Could it be that the reason VA is "first off the blocks" this time (your words) is that the data this time is different to that of last week? (which it is).
Face up to it, AoA. There is no conspiracy to withhold information.
It's all in your mind

i was a bit sceptical re the ash cloud and its effects, until i had a look at my car this evening under a street light after getting home, nice fine layer of grey dust over it.. in Sydney.
