They are not marking it with "VIRGIN BLUE" so as they can use it on Pacific Blue routes, the head rests just have Blue) on them
I believe its the other way around. the current pacific blue 737s have new stickers down the side with "An airline of Virgin Blue".

Looks like you have 2 scissor lifts (JBT Commander 15I's) and a new drivable!! belt loader.
Hey Kirk, Bitch to someone who cares mate. I don't schedule it i just pass on info that i am told. Supposedly its now may, we have people in sydney at the moment getting trained for the arrival. The drivable belt is for the bulk hold because none of the towable ones are tall enough. we also have drivable stairs in the bay 30 GSE area

I wasnt bitching, i was after a update.
as for the Virgin blue logo's, i mean things like the seat covers, and wall logos in VUY just say Blue, not Pacific Blue or Vrigin blue, this is so they can use it on all rutes, a Virgin Blue branded aircraft can not operate out of Australia, due the agreement with SIA, which owns a % of the Virgin group

knock them down so A330 and above can taxi along that apron, instead of going via the intl side,
my understanding is that it the A330 will fit, as i have been told that if they havn't demolished it, the opps will continue but dusring pushbacks wing walkers will be required to ensure clearance (about 3m clearance, so not alot of room, hence why only the best pushback drivers are going to push the 330s).
And Helitak: the A330s will serviced by drivable stairs using either Bay 19 or a bay in between 18 and 19, will find out some time before they arrive (probably the day before). They will not be using the aerobridges.

ahh, ok.
Because of the wingspan, we have been told that they won't be using 16/17 because they will block out adjacent bays

Have you got a pic of the one that zips up and down the coast every day.. I think it might be involved with shark watch?
It's yellow with a flash of red at the front by the looks.
