Slightly off topic with relation to this thread, but ive heard word that V Australia has gotten permission to use "velocity" as call sign and will be doing this and is eventually seeking to use "aurora" as their final call sign.

Apparently VEE-OZZ was hard to pronounce

Sometime around 3pm accoriding to V Aus website. Arrives in LAX about 10am.

Its odd that Sydneyairport.com doesnt have it.

March 1st its departing aat 9:30 and arrives 4:30pm. Then, March 20 when they say they start regular flying its 8:30pm with a 4:30pm arrival. Thats weird.

Perhaps by leaving at 3pm they can hope to be on the 6pm news!

perhaps time change from DST either in Australia or the USA

They will be using the Malaysian Airline lounge in Sydney and the Alaskan lounge in Los Angeles.

Any news if they may build a clubhouse in Sydney for VS/VA/DJ?

How about this one..... on the way home tonight, just heard a couple of people taking about the launch party in Sydney tonight. Seems that someone overbooked the party to the tune of several hundred guests and apparently these people had been booted from the guest list earlier today (they were actually quite pi$$ed!!).

I hope that they (V Aussie) can manage their aircraft loading a bit better than this.

Cheers
