Sep 04, 2020, 10:25 PMVirgin won’t need MAX for years anyway. Boeing will be desperate to have MAX in Australia as everything points to Qantas going towards A320neos

Are my Virgin Australia Velocity frequent flyer points safe?
May 08, 2020, 09:39 PMIf the new owners scrap Velocity they will lose a lot of customers to Qantas including myself. Most travellers have QFF and Velocity accounts.
