VB/PB livery rebranding starts.

[Nigel S]

It's a flipping aircraft livery for god sake not an oil painting,what do you want Jackson Pollock? Get over the livery and start focussing on what really matters which is the actual flying experience,the important thing is whether Virgin can deliver a product that can compete against Qantas,personally I think they are trying to be all things to all people and that bothers me because I think in the current aviation market airlines need to know their demographic and stick to it and their plan sounds a bit like they are trying to serve the LCC,middle ground and premium market and I have doubts that they can do that but I'm not going to write them off because of preconceived bias against them as some on this forum seem to do.

According to my plane finder iPhone app it is currently over Bass Straight enroute to Launceston as DJ1362, not sure how accurate this is though.

Pretty much, I'd say - that and baggage allowance.

I didn't want an oil painting not something so posh, just a touch of purple so when I put the pic of YFC into my 8x10 inch frame it will match my lounge... LOL.

Very accurate as she paid me a visit here in LST this morning!

...and on Qantas you get staff that behave like they are doing you a favour letting you travel with them. Virgin staff tend to look like they actually enjoy their job.

At the same time the 77W will get a new J class product. Whilst the soft product on VA is very good there has been some disquiet about the width of the current sleeper seat when compared with airlines such as codeshare partners EY & DL.

Wow... the most awesome economy interior I've ever seen... VA will go far!

Poor Qantas... what a challenge... !
