Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

I think people will still come through the curtain whatever form it takes. On other airlines that have curtain solutions I’ve seen this too.
People will be people, but it naturally encourages the majority of people use the rear toilets, without having to say a word to them.
Most people don't listen to the pre departure annoucement so a visual reminder is important.
Not having any sort of visual reminder, barrier if you will, does the opposite and encourages many people to use the front lav.

Even people will jump the rope (not limited to Virgin) on occasions, thus any 'obstructions' aren't a 100% guarantee to stop people using the forward lav.
 
Hopefully the Hellships are sent packing and all is good 🤣
Rumours elsewhere suggest that VA may be looking at adding to the 8 E190-E2s going to WA for VARA.

Whilst that rumour suggests it could replace the remaining A320 "hellships" at VARA, i can't see VA operating two subfleets of E2s if that rumour happens, which suggests the all-Y units could live on the VA mainline services through VARA's incoming E190-E2s

I’ve think they have come to understand the importance the -700 plays on the East Coast. Especially off peak. Certainly seems probable that more flying -700s will move over east.

More E2s make sense especially as mining companies are making noise about sustainability targets at the moment, and some have called out the use of these newer aircraft in yearly results. Likely a win for Virgin if the clients are happy to pay more.
