Virgin Australia's plans for 2012

[ASY68]

Boom, the ATR is flagged for CNS-TSV-ROK with an Ejet operating on some of the BNE-GLT routes...

[wheels_down]

Interesting when the likes of Strategic could only pull 10 people per flight to GLT but Virgin can do 5 ATR's a day plus the odd Ejet.

[Bellcrank 74]

By the looks of next weeks schedule good ATR 72 utilisation on the Qld coast 'Milk Run" Monday 25/6 shows VH-FVX operating DJ 1239,1901,1904 and 1260 BNE-ROK-TSV-ROK-BNE
I'm guessing MKY and CNS are on the agenda....

[jarden]

CNS ATR flights start in July.
Not sure if they will open a base up here nothing in the local paper about it.
Could do a milk run like QFs BNE-ROK-MKY-TSV-CNS and return would use up one ATR very nicely. Can do a stop at BDB enroute as well.

I think you misread what I said. I said no CNS base, not the ATR will not fly there.

Mid July crews will start TSV overnights with TSV likely to be the next base unless the idea of MEL pops its head up again.

Toll Aviation have advertised today for Lames in CNS,TSV,ROK and BNE Big things on horizon.....???

[SHVC]

Is a Sydney base on the horizon? For the ATR that is

[GAFA]

XFE, the 5th A330 arrived in MEL tonight direct from TLS. Word is they may have a new record for the longest A330-200 flight.

[Transition Layer]

Might be wrong, but I thought QF had done TLS-MEL direct once or twice in a A330

[GAFA]

XFE did a big diversion through the eastern part of SA, possibly due to the earthquake, so this might give them the edge over previous Qantas/Jetstar flights.

[Dragun]

Did you get that word from the photos on AHs facebook page GAFA?

[Curved Approach]

Heard XFE requesting revised tracking from MEL CEN to rack up some extra track miles to beat the record they thought was held by Jetstar. A few comments in jest ensued about the crew chasing overtime. Haha. The MEL CEN controller seemed happy to oblige. Definitely not as a result of the earth quake

[Normasars]

Just sounds like a p1ssing contest to me.

[psycho joe]

So I take it, there wont be any more memos about saving fuel then.

[Servo]

HAhahaha good one PJ. Definetly a pissing comp, some of the crew on the A330 already believe they are sky gods

[ernestkgann]

They're rookies.

[Break Right]

Sky gods and rookies.

[Dookie on Drums]

Yep rookies...They are yet to learn how to do aerobatics in an A330
