Virgin Blue and ETOPS
Just wondering about the following please guys and gals ...
1. Does VB have ETOPS approval?
2.If yes , when did they get it ?
3. For how many minutes is it ?
4. Where can they fly with it?
5. Is it just for the 737-700/800's ? Not the -400?
If VB expand as one company into international services , will they require new ETOPS approvals or will the already approved remain current to new routes eg: HK / AKL?
I have already done a search on CASA and found their requirements and understand them fully. Just need some info on VB's side of things.
Thanks

Which aspect is incorrect?
I have the 'dirty laundry' as YOU put it from a very reliable source.However. it may not be the only reason they don't have ETOPS currently. You wouldn't be one of those VB people who scream blue murder if something negative is said about Virgin would you? After all, this is a rumour network - is it not?

I can't recall stating I had a monopoly. And I thought quoting from sources, whomever they may be, was an acceptable past time on this forum. Would you like me to post a blank response?
Have I said something to upset you?
Once again, what have I said that is incorrect?

I think you will find that there was NO finding that there was no reliability programme - if that makes sense!
Go back to your source and find out the real story!!
There are problems without a doubt, but your reasoon isn't one of them..
