VA pilots worried about employment 2021
Servo
the company has expressed that the HND run COULD be done 2 crew, after a bedding in phase, as both ends have closer in alternates than HKG. That seems a long way off with the number of idle A330 FOs.

Explains all the running around in the village. Ask a few people there directly and evaluate the responses.

Why? anythings possible, but VARA are getting Tiger's A320's.... and they will expand them into the future, so I dont think VARA should be overly worried (but have a plan B guys!).
Tigerair are the ones that should be worried, with VA taking their profitable routes (PPP), downsizing and swapping over to an ancient 737 from the Airbus

Old Mates is right. 737s have operated into Rocky, Gladstone and a lot of the other ports. Not one pilot should have to take leave without pay or redundancy while a contractor owned by the opposition is doing Virgin flying.

They do have 700s which could essentially take over many of the Alliance routes with a more sustainable seat count if they are worried about the -800 being too big.
A330 FO's could take commands on the Airbus at VARA or Tiger? If they are really wanting to stick with the Airbus.

Reverse date of joining for losing ones position. Now a pay cut. If true, they are drinking cool aid in Virgin head office. A mess created by poor management and ego. Once again the pointy end staff pays the price, whilst others walk away with an obscene amount of money or remain in their ivory chairs in their ivory tower, protecting their position. What a horrible industry.
