Velocity Chief Nick Rohrlach departs in management shakeup

The blurb certainly does not meet the actuality within VA lounges! 🤭, 😁
You don't feel the Virgin Australia lounges fit within this?... 'award-winning aviation services transform travel into an experience worth savouring. With gourmet menus, seamless service, and thoughtfully curated spaces, Trippas White Group redefines airport hospitality—welcoming travellers with care, calm, and culinary excellence.

Perhaps this would be more fitting...
Our accomplishments include creating a curated menu with a wide and varied range of menu options, an indulgent experience that you would expect from a 5 star restaurant, such as 7 Eleven or your local service station. You'll board your flight with joy and excitement, after a sanga or wrap (or award-winning packet like pasta) along with a decadent cask quality wine from our delightful self-service bar, with decor inspired by the 1990's era (Sydney)'

I see that they currently have plenty of vacancies for chefs, cooks and lounge attendants around many of the VA lounges:

2 of them are for the beyond lounge (including supervisor), 1 chef for the VA lounge (normal one), probably just the previous one resigned or something, I doubt this will lead to much of anything.

The sad thing is, the food is so poor even in the qantas business lounge, it would be just such an easy thing to compete on.

I definitely feel the food is better in the Qantas bus lounge, but yes, it's not that far ahead, so it would be easy to beat at very little cost.

The other day in the Melbourne lounge, the spread of salads, bolognese, pumpkin soup and jacket potatoes gave me real Sizzler vibes. Maybe that new Sizzler at Sydney Airport is actually opening in the Virgin lounge.

Sizzler is returning? What decade are we living in? Nightmares are returning 😂 what's next, Pizza Hut all you can eat "restaurants"?!
