Sorry if it’s a silly question, can’t really find the details anywhere at this early stage.
Word is IAG aren’t accepting any govt assistance including this wage thing so they look good to shareholders/the city. I was hoping the same as you but I think it’s wishful thinking. Asda, Lidl, Aldi and Maccies applications going in tomorrow, ezy fleet is grounded from Tuesday
