Hi there

They now believe it was a hoax. Apparently a union representative put it there to protest about lack of security and how people aren`t trained to deal with the situation. Also, I am getting sick and tired of reading news reports saying that the plane was a 737-300. Virgin do not operate any of this type of aircraft. They only have 737-700`s and 737-800`s. The plane involved was a 700, (note only 2 exits over wings). Also, Virgin Blue`s 2 letter code is DJ and not VB.
