Maybey more hand me downs ?
I think from memory there are two more ex emirates birds coming as well. I would expect that they will have the same interior makeover to make them consistent.

At least two of those 6 are brand new though - leasing company sounds like what is going on, and it makes sense with little $ for a big bang.
Ooooo and three more E190s!
All Virgin Australia flights from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane to Perth will have business class from 28 September.
Yep they have called it business class. but its only truly business class from sydney.

How so, in comparison to the product on offer from the competition, the only difference is the IFE, meal service etc will be same! Pitch on the DJ 737 is comparable to QF in J

The thing is if the interiors are up to scratch - new, modern, good pitch, comfy seats, attractive and clean - who cares if the aircraft is second hand?
.You neglect to mention technically reliable.
If anymore of the ex Emirates A332 are as unreliable as -XFA then I for one will be happy to 'endure' a 737 trip coast to coast. Last night we were delayed 2.5 hours on DJ572 after the aircraft gave out a 'false systems
.
Yeah, I've heard about the poor OTP with the 330s. I heard the aircraft came from entires Arun pretty poor condition.
On the other hand. I thought XFA was usually ontime.
Crew call them XFAwesome and XFBroken.
The 330 flight to PER got canned/delayed this morning. Misha was on it as a paid J seat and got moved to PE.
When was the last time you were on a 763 ansett?
The soft product is nice, but the seat from Brisbane and Melbourne to Perth is 38 inch seat pitch, whereas sydney has the 60inch pitch seat.
Only in Row 2, and as someone who has done considerable time recently in the DJ737 Row 1, I have no issues with the pitch, or the fact my J cabin has only 8 seats!
And I had absolutely no issues with Row 2 either, even with Row 1 fully reclined (and I have been known to whinge occasionally ).
