Hate the middle seat on A320’s & 737’s even short haul (broad shoulders). I always give my wife the window seat. Still, Virgin remains viable so far. Not only to keep Qantas in check price wise but we always use them for their Melb- Port Stephens flights. In the past We even managed a few upgrades to business for just $40 pp. (Better than paying for extra legroom) I imagine that will now be a thing of the past. Still, we need 2 airlines for competition. Thanks for the High Life emails. Look forward to them.

Very shortsighted to ditch A330s when the market is rock bottom for lease negotiations. However with Scurrah and Hrdlicka constantly spruiking an all 737 fleet, there seems to be little hope that the economics of operating some A330s will be revisited. Have they costed the loss of regular customers who will not travel on an uncomfortable 737 for a 4 hour flight?
