He is also looking for more planes, with analysts suggesting that either 300-seat A330s or 260-seat 767s may be leased for quick delivery ahead of a possible order for 290-seat 787s.

I reckon virgin should get the 737-900ER, to go head to head with JQ's A321's and on the busy MEL-SYD-BNE Routes. Make there 737-800's go head to head with there A320's and there 737-700's go head to head with qf' 737-800 and 737-400 routes. There is hope virgin will get the 25 options configured into more 737-700's or the 737-900ER. I think virgin are going to get rid of the -700's all together?

That is very old news Sean as the link you posted is dated 21 June 2010.

Virgin Blue announced in August that it will lease two former Emirates A330s. The first, VH-XFA (formerly A6-EAB) was noted in an all white scheme in Dubai last week. Both should be in service by May 2011 with another two expected early in 2012.

Snapped it last night while it was in obviously an unfinshed state.
