Virgin Australia "Milestone Announcement" June 1, 2023

[_flyer]

Not good Ann these announcements then delaying them, bit of a pattern forming.

Can't keep this up when listed on the ASX, would be bit of a shamozzle.

So many promotional delays, non-events and aircraft delays (max). It makes you wonder how the operate internally - must be so disorganised.

To be fair the 'MAX' debacle are largely on Boeing's end, which also extends to the 787s (hence Qantas caught up in those issues).

Lol. I can understand all of those delays. What puzzles me is the inability to substitute cheese and crackers for a bread roll!!!

(Cheese and cracker packaging being non recyclable)

By all account, this one seems to be going ahead. Realistically, it.seems we shouldn't have even known about it.

It's not delayed, the event is 4pm AEST today, so there wouldn't be anything before then.

Any news?

Any news?

Nothing on ET yet...

I share the frustration.

VA *know* it was leaked, ET published it.

Why annoy your most loyal FFers by further embargoing your announcement?

‘you all know this was coming. you’ve been waiting for it. but… you can’t have it’

point of this delay?

Someone posted online that the big announcement was a new logo.

Ok boring close thread.

Stop it. Please no.

Maybe that's why VA were so intent on killing the ET 'story', because it resulted in all this needless speculation

Ok boring close thread.

surely it’s more than a logo

 

[SYD]

surely it’s more than a logo

That’s what was implied up thread.

Given I said an announcment was imminent, a few days before it happened, and some other info I've mentioned that was true, yes
Unfortunately there is a lot I cannot say other than little bits and pieces, to protect those involved.
I'll say what I can from time to time to help keep us a little more informed.
There are others in here that have this inside info also, but they've also been very careful with what they divulge.
The upcoming announcement is quite exciting IMO and has several new options for passengers.

 

[justinbrett]

it is quite interesting to see they've teamed up with VA and will drop QF from the end of June (since they needed to wait for the QF contract to expire)...

Except it was QF that dropped them...

 

[MooTime]

surely it’s more than a logo

Off course it has to be more.
The cost of spinning out a new logo would cost upto half a mil, Shirley no way pending IPO could throw that kinda dough around.

We wait we wait...

I don’t recall ET publishing a story about a new logo…

No, just that there was going to be an event…
