Get Ready for a Change

[Harry G]

names, uniforms, the tag of "flying circus"...
would think the major change will be going head to head with QF and leaving the middle lower holiday traveller to be ripped apart by eithe JQ or TT

I could be totally wrong here and please anyone correct me if im wrong but i believe Virgin Blue will get 787's or 767's over A330's.

This is from when DJ bought their new 737's

The agreement includes 50 firm B737-800NG aircraft (with flexibilityto convert to either B737-700or B737-900), 25 additional firm delivery positions secured as options and 30 future purchase rights

Now I know this does not mean anything but kind of tells me that its going to be easier for them to modify a current contract and get aircraft sooner maybe? Im not sure.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

If you read the article it clearly says lease 767's or A330's until a possible order can be placed for 787's. Having options on 737's won't push them up the pecking order for 787 delivery slots.
