It wasn't an 737-700 as per the News.com report. No cabin pressure was lost as well.

No it wasn't, as a previous poster said the aircraft involved wasn't even a B737-700.

VH-VBC was not the a/c in question. VH-VBC departed Townsville for Brisbane this morning as DJ654 which departed at 6am. DJ656 departs Townsville for Brisbane 9:15am and arrives into Brisbane at 11:00am

Sorry all, my mistake. Got myself confused with the flight nos.

VH-ZPB was the aircraft in question, E190. Arrived TSV from BNE 15 mins late at 0900 operating DJ655, departed 21 mins late at 0936 as DJ656 back to BNE, but then via MKY with the incident that took place.

It wasn't an 737-700 as per the News.com report.

Perhaps someone at news.com looked up the Virgin Blue online schedules which show '73G' for 737-700, 737-800 and EMB-190 flights?
