I understand all the 737-7Q8s are going, but don't know about the other 700s.

Over the next few years I am pretty sure most of the leases of the 737-700s and VO series 800s (the leased ones) are up, that would mean all 700s except VBY and VBZ and all VO series 800s before VOK, someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I'm assuming it still has no IFE either.

On my flight down to Melbourne on VH-VUX last week they didn't even bother turning the audio "Blue Beats" system on. Returning on VH-VUY yesterday it was on and they were offering headsets.

To be honest to/from MEL it's only mildly annoying (really I just like the map). I had VH-VUV over to Perth last year and that was irritating, though admittedly made for a very peaceful flight.

This sounds funny but VH-YFC does not suit Virgin - I am used to the V's... )

Check out Virgin Atlantic's new colours on their first A330, it could be clue for the new colours.

G'day I just checked out the VS A330. It looks very basic!

I am hoping they go for the V Australia livery.

But considering the new aircraft are plain white, it makes sense what you said Rob. But very bland livery - that VS livery! Not a good move in my opinion if DJ ends up similar to that - no class about it at all. What a waste of money and paint.

Nah... my gut is telling me they may go for the V Australia look. Fantastic if they do - some style.

If what I heard today about the colours and design is true, look out as it will be a nice change

[QUOTE=Rob R;58664]If what I heard today about the colours and design is true, look out as it will be a nice change[/QUOTE
You have posted that twice now, so spit it out, what did you hear, and from who???
Lety me tell some tales too, its going to be all the same colour on the fuselage, the tail will be a different colour to what V Aust and DJ have now, its going to look different to what we are used to. Some bloke said that today. GRrrrr speculation and guesses. Just chill out and wait LOL, oh, and YFC will be the first, and YFC has significance in it rego, but Im not going to say what it is, but it is soooo exciting
