If Allen gets that $4.1 billion here’s how I think he’ll spend it:
1. Spend 500m on 4 A350s. Despite having been in service for several years, label them “game changers”.
2. Slash 5000 jobs as part of “game changing” transformation program to recover from covid-19. 500m.
3. Engage in “game changing” $3 billion share buyback to jack up share price.
4. Pay himself “game changing” 100m executive bonus for saving the company.
5. In one final kick in the balls to the pilots, retire and appoint Tino CEO and Nathan Safe Chief pilot. Priceless.
