That's what everyone said about Borghetti, too.
Totally incorrect.
I would suggest that most at Virgin were skeptical of an ex-QANTAS person getting the top job, and knew very little about him.
But when he arrived he was affable enough and yes, I along with many others was taken in by this salesman, but it didn’t take very long for the real JB to surface.
JT on the other hand actually understands the industry, not the mail room, and he’s not as ego driven.
This has been experienced by the workers at Virgin already and the fact that so many want him back must surely demonstrate that he is well regarded.
