We tried, but we couldn't move the ASX announcement in time.
Pfft, shareholders and their right to timely information, anyone would think they own the company!

Fantastic news!!
Is anyones account showing Plat status yet?
Having been a vocal supporter of Virgin for the past 6 or so years, and Gold for what I recall as 4 of those, I am going to have my case of sour grapes today. I am currently between the 800 and 1000 points required for renewal / qualification for Platinum .Together with some "missing" Status Credits from Air NZ and booked travel between now and early October I will make Platinum in the 2nd week of October, so perhaps I should just "suck it up", but I do find my commitment to Virgin just a little strained today.
To hand out Status matches like lollies in a lolly shop to QF customers, while some loyal DJ customers like myself have not had a full year's benefit of the more favourable Status Credits introduced earlier this year seems a little inequitable. Looking back at my flights for the past year, there are a number of flights which I believe would have potenitally tipped me over the 1000 SC required.
So for my next 11 or 12 sectors I will be a long standing loyal Gold Frequent flyer.... hoping to join many of the knockers who have been happy to bag DJ in the past, but will now I am sure be receiving amazing attention as matched Platinum.
Do I feel unloved....just a little bit! Do I feel my Gold Status devalued by giveaways......absolutely!

LiamR and koonyaflyer, I'm sure you would rather increasing patronage than decreasing (to the point that it is uneconomically viable to run VA and they have to go the same way as Compass Mark 1 & 2, Ansett, et al). Then your status and all the benefits gained, but not used, would be worthless.Also to Liam who posted along these lines earlier.
We have discussed internally at great length, how those loyal DJ supporters would feel about a status match such as we are running today.
We ABSOLUTELY appreciate those who have built their status with us the old-fashioned way.
But we felt the benefits that we were introducing would far outweigh any negatives.
The reality is that we also need more people to fly with us.
Hope you enjoy the new program!
Well if VA want to throw that much at us for very little, guess it'd be foolish not to milk it for it's worth. I'm in.
(now where are all the singles who want to complain that they're being discriminated against?)
Not a single spare seat at BNE this afternoon!
3) already have 1000+ status credits?
I think this conclusively answers what Velocity rep's gender is. No guy could be this good at teasing!
