VA “secret announcement”

[jakeseven7]

If QR has indeed bought 20% and intends to interfere contribute to management direction, I wonder whether there will be any more pride flights or sponsorships in the future

Qatar and diversity / inclusion / human rights etc don’t exactly go hand in hand so if they ever got to the point of controlling operational decisions at VA2 I certainly think they’d be cut sadly. In the meantime let’s enjoy it while it lasts!

Though imagining the Qatar execs dancing in a rainbow outfit does make me laugh

I thought the same but I’m certain BA still does these.

Is it all that different to serving champagne and bacon in the lounges? Things can be overlooked when there’s profit to be had.

My hot take: Direct flights to the USA...the roller skates is what leads me to it.

I’ll have whatever you’ve been smoking

Just like VA's last attempts at PR' stunts, I wonder if this one will fail as badly

They’re rollerblades.

I think you are right. QR don't seem to interfere that much in these things:

If it’s something “wonderful” I’m sure those who frequent this forum can safely ignore it

On their B737 max right?

major party to celebrate… 10 million Velocity members?

Major announcement for the 1 point rewards store.

And they said they were going to have a major launch for the cabin divider!

737max has the range, easy. CNS-GUM, BNE-PPG

They’re rollerblades.

Why else would they be boarding with roller....blades!

Ok upon further inspection, could it be something 70's or 80's themed? think disco balls, roller derby, aerobics gear..

Wouldn’t that have come from the Velocity account if that was the case?

I think it’s definitely pride. The FA is wearing a pride pin, then theres the photo full of balls with a rainbow on it.

Bring on Fabulous perhaps?

It’s totally pride related.

i was just remembering some of the precious ‘wonderful’ announcements. Can’t wait for this one.

And I’m now convinced I’m right about Pride WA with your focus on rollerblades.

The event includes a “Retro Rainbow Roller disco”.

Agree! That was the most odd thing about that image - why take rollerblades...

Because they’re basically wearing costumes from the Barbie movie.

QR will follow the money; don't overestimate promoting cultural norms in an offshore commercial setting.

New VA uniforms?

A bit chilly for the southern climes....

Ending that nonsense would be an excellent move by QR.
