V-Flyer

Notice "Diamond Girl" is operating the 354 to BOM today albeit around an hour late. Is this her first revenue service.

Hi

I think her first trip was the 11 on 14th Decembeer, although the database wasnt picking up her journies then.

She also did the 3 yesterday, but Pete needs to build a link somewhere which has to be dopne after they enter service which he does as soom as he gets a minute...

Is that all the 330s delivered now. I make it six at LHR

Let's hope so....! The UC roll-out on this aircraft is nothing short of disastrous. I was unfortunately bound to taking the 4 our of JFK last weekend and again endured a flight of awfulness. I've not spoken to a single crew member who's spoken positively about the Dream Suite. The product needs a serious review before it rolls out on the Dreamliner. It is fare smaller than the original UC suite and that's a fact. Sleeping was difficult to say the least, even having taken a sleeping pill.

I was due to fly on the VS4 again on 29/12/12 but have moved over to the VS46. I will never fly that aircraft again. VA spent a fortune on that product and clearly without researching it with it's most valued customers. One big disaster.

I think G-VLUV and G-VUFO are still to come taking the total to ten.

UFO is already in service and LUV has just been painted

Oops quite right, G-VUFO is indeed in service, just not leaving a digital trail in SBS or ACARS just yet. How quaint!

On the flip side, I've heard they're excellent in PE.

New PE Amazing

Flew back on the VS26 on a A333 yesterday, the rumours about reconfig'ing UC seem to be gaining pace ... let's see what happens. I agree with the 'disaster' comment, and we're still waiting for a certain Yorkshireman's TR on the VS22 from IAD!
