VS85 21st July 24

I do wonder why VS don’t consider using the B789’s at MAN? They did briefly during COVID whilst the US boarders were still closed and BGI was the only VS route op’ing out of MAN.

Crew shortage, apparently. We were supposed to be on it...

Have you tried to get compensation? They called us today and said it was caused by global IT issues so no compensation.

On a Vegas FB page there was a passenger on yesterday’s VS85 messaging in from the flight, claiming that the plane was empty and had just 138 pax on board.
For a flight to Vegas for the weekend in the middle of the holidays that’s pretty poor is it not?

We flew back Weds and Upper and Premium were full but the economy section behind Premium was almost empty, maybe 20 passengers in total. No idea about the rear cabin. Although this may be because people's outbound flights were cancelled so they decided not to go?
