The paying public aren't going to be too impressed with their whining (alongside other airlines) for a government payout when they read about the millions that are paid out to easy investors while the present crisis worsens. The amounts alone that Stelios and family have received in recent years is breathtaking? So why should Joe Public have to cough up when there are many more deserving causes that may need financial assistance?
I wish you all well during the present crisis, but suggest your company's board and management should maybe take a look in the mirror before they start stretching out with the begging bowl.
Good luck to you all and I hope your jobs remain during this crisis.
It's simple: what you and most of the public seem to ignore is that most of those share holders are pension funds.
Sure maybe Stelios should forego his dividend. But you cannot rightfully refuse it to be paid to those vital funds that will impact peoples pensions. The hardship is coming for easy staff and they have my deepest sympathies at this difficult time. But why cause hardship for even more people?
