If you think that was a smart decision by Scurra .. then I bet there is a thin line of protection for any of the VA "mainline" peeps, if it gets that far.
With all due respect - that doesn’t make any sense. VA have had capacity reductions in the order of 6-10 % to date. Hence 1 day of LWOP per pilot per roster for VAA 73 Domestic.

Tiger have had 6 out of 14 aircraft permanently removed. The equivalent number of Virgin aircraft would be 30 to be permanently removed. The scenarios are completely different.
