Virgin is in the poo. I heard that all the E190's and ATR's are going and replaced with Alliance F50/70/100's

I also heard that all VA painted 737's would be transferred to Air Nauru to operate the domestic ops. From the same source ^

Why would Virgin just give up these routes to Alliance?

To bully Virgin pilots into a crap EBA?

Who said giving up?

It'll most likely be Alliance operating on behalf of Virgin.

They've done it before, in fact for a while Alliance had 5 x F100's operating for QF/VA in BNE.

Very much doubt you'll see any job cuts to crew. It's a very messy and ultimately expensive process. More likely is reduced hours for crew and forced leave or LWOP opportunities.

Alliance and VA signed a deal.(It is out in the media) Talk on the town is that they are going to dissolve VARA and all aircraft etc go to Alliance.

They spent $100 million on VARA, so it would be a gutsy call to say they are going to knock it on the head, to say nothing about it being unsettling for the VARA staff.

But they have done stranger things so anything is possible I guess 🙀

You'll probably find Aussies seconded to NZ for a time. Very short crewed over there and finding it difficult to get numbers from VARA.
