So Virgin Australia was first V Blue, then V Australia not Virgin Australia.

Looks to me like we're going to need at least a couple 777's a day going to Rio!

Isn't it true that when US pilots land in Australia legions of hot chicks throw tennis balls with their phone numbers in them and whichever one you pick they are yours for the entire layover. No questions asked.

That's my rumor (rumour?) and I'm sticking to it.

Wow - with such a short routes, spread out population, and multiple stops, GOL must have LOTS of RJs!

With the exception of the destinations over the Brazilian border, that route map looks a lot like what SWA would probably do..... And they fly all 737's soon.......


P.S. Wiki says that they have 1 767-200 and 1 767-300ER both are in Varig colors operated on international charter and some domestic scheduled flights

Yes, and I have a call in to see if we are taking over those jets, or just the leases. A press report filed recently stated that they are getting out of the 767 WB flying business all together.

Delta received bailout money from the government, er tax payers and now they are effectively using these funds to create jobs outside of America.

It's past time for Operation Orange to create some loud civil disobedience.

This should not surprise you that management takes this position. What should make you mad, is that DALPA agrees.

You sure about that? AFAIK, Delta never took the bailout money, didn't even apply for it.

Best I could find from Wikipedia:

Between 2001 and 2003, the ATSB approved applications for loan guarantees from seven carriers: America West Airlines, US Airways, American Trans Air, Aloha Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Evergreen International Airlines, and World Airways. These carriers accepted loan guarantees worth $1.179 billion.
The ATSB denied applications from nine carriers: Ozark Airlines dba Great Plains Airlines, MEDjet International, Corporate Airlines, Gemini Air Cargo, Frontier Flying Service, Spirit Airlines, National Airlines, and both initial and revised applications from United Airlines and Vanguard Airlines.

AMEX got something like $1B in bailout money in 2008...by becoming a bank just prior. They then turned around and gave Delta $1B in exchange for the right to loudly harass Delta customers in the terminals and have DAL flight attendants hawk credit cards over the PA like a carnival barker.

Yeah, DAL got taxpayer money, just indirectly.
