Interesting how 10 years of multi million dollar losses went unchecked by all the various bodies and now after the Government a. Leaves the borders open too long and b. Grounds the entire country, it suddenly becomes an issue.
Where is the mention of the man, board and chair people involved of the last decade? Not one mention. It’s incredible.
How would the government go if the tax payer just switched off paying tax overnight? Probably not too well. Afterall they haven’t exactly managed our money that well have they. Pot call kettle black me thinks.
Whats also been completely ignored is that Paul Scurrah has been working behind the scenes cleaning up the mess and indeed making some massive calls that have never been made in the history of Virgin (Vanz/Tiger Pilot redundancies). Hardly light hearted stuff.
So clearly the company is moving in the right direction but hey if you work under a government that ignores all the warning signs for eight weeks straight then haphazardly ground the country then the request for help shouldn’t be a surprise then should it?
Meanwhile the frontline staff and their families just sing from the song sheet and in the end will just get fricken speared while all the executives parachute into other roles.
Close it up go on. Get Ryanair or Air Asia in see how you like those boats.
