History dictates that normally following a change of CEO there will be a blood bath amongst the middle management.

Flaps

Forget the red they are going WHITE and new name is :mad:

white, gee thats original. Come on surely they'll do something that stands out. Look around the world there are some great liveries. LAN Chile looks pretty cool.

air command

is the "very senior executive" S Swift ?

No,

But the Fin Review reported Swift as "reviewing his options".

My reading of that is that Swift is "clearing his desk"

The senior executive mentioned is Andrew David. He has already written his obituary to the troops, so you can take that one to the bank. SS is unconfirmed at this stage, but the fat lady is clearing her throat.

How about "Virgin Australia" to combine all the carriers into one!

VX "Virgin America" color scheme in the states looks great! (Excellent airline aswell, DJ could learn alot from them!)

Having experienced the VX product in 'First Class', I must say the customer experience was great from checkin through to the lounge, then onboard. Certainly made 'every moment count'.

Though it was noted for lounge use it was $30USD on top of the ticket price & was shared with Virgin Atlantic.

new uniform???
 

Has anyone seen the new uniform yet???

Bright red tie I heard......

Colours have been worked out and no red tie.

???????
 

And what would they be?

Colours have NOT been selected at all. There are about 5 colour proposals at present which will be narrowed down and shown to crew for input/opinion in months to come before a decision is made. Don't expect to see anything till feb/march next year.

Would be good to get a cap :ok:

Lot of talk about rationalising routes etc. Will PB drivers keep their jobs?

As long as there is a handle attached to make it easier to carry. :)

Yeah great to fly on, not so sure you want to work there.

If they align the international products with Atlantic and the domestic product with Virgin America I think you will have a very good international global airline.

Why wouldnt they keep their jobs?!

Make VB take on Qantas.. keep PB against Jet*..
Two can play at the two companies game....

Yep, gooooooooooone. Not yet official though. (this is only rumour of course).

The 'blood letting' is not yet finished and I will have more 'rumours' to report in the upcoming weeks.Suffice to say is that JB is finally putting the axe through Brett's boys club who have steadily steered the place into a shipwreck. There are still a number of cockroaches scurrying around looking to hide in the cracks and shadows however John and his can of Moretein are coming,so watch out parasites !!

I love your posts CJ:ok:

SilverSleuth,

The Ejet pilots were given an update from their manager 2 weeks ago. In the update the 4 colours have been chosen and they are working on the final design and were asking for crew imput on the design not colours. The update also included the changes to crew meals (and cabin meals).

The word from those that have had a meeting with JB is no manager's job is safe.
