Default V Australia?

Has anyone heard any news on V Australia and their plans to start flying in November? Their web site has been static for the last few months so just wondering if anyone down there had heard any news?

Thank you,

Ben

Ben,

When you say "down there", who/what or where exactly are you referring to?

Hi Grant,

I just mean Australia in general.

Thanks,

Well yes Peter it does, as it is geographically incorrect...

I've heard there's a B773 fix-based sim around the mascot-sydney south region, now up and running. Can anyone shed anymore light on this?

One post from a respectable Aussie A.net member suggests that SFO will not be serviced any time soon..just LAX. I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if this were true considering how heavily focused QF is on LAX compared to SFO.

It's a bit of a bummer though coz I fly out that way 1 or twice a year and always head for SFO... but ah well, willing to put up with LAX if it means I get to try out V Australia or even QF's A380.
