Today is VOB's last day for revene service with DJ. I was lucky enough to ride her from BNE to SYD this afternoon. She looked very tired from the inside.

Does anyone know if VH-VOD has been withdrawn from service, as it has not been around for a few weeks? Or is it staying longer and receiving maintenance?

Thanks.

For that matter, given VUU was away for 9 days in CHC, was it repainted? Has anyone seen it? Cheers

ZK-PBF is still in CHC and has been there for 12 days so far.

The other red's/blue that were painted (VUF VUG VOQ VOK VBY) were all gone for approx 20 days, or spot on.

VOW is the one I question for new livery. It has been gone for 25 days.

VOX is in MEL for the past 12 days. It is one of those "Airline of Virgin Blue".

VUU is young and looks new and spotless in its red, they'll do the shabby and faded older 738's first.

Cheers Steve, I saw that VUU was gone for 9 days and thought maybe but obviously it needs to be more like double that! I personally can't wait to see the back of the hybrid schemes... I understand the rationale of them but they're so ugly!!

Which of the current 738s are being withdrawn (apart from obviously VOB after tonight)??
