I don’t think anyone is intentionally wanting to see Virgin go into administration but yes, sadly perhaps it is inevitable. The cause probably doesn’t matter now. Perhaps some decisions would be made differently in hindsight. COVID-19 was most probably the catalyst.

Businesses will come and go with the economic cycle. There will be another carrier step in to replace them. It’s my hope that everyone who loses-out can be re-employed ASAP.

Again, it’s not the entity that matters. It’s the airlines employees and their families. Please reach out to your colleagues in the industry to share grief. Don’t take it out on your family. In their eyes, you’re a hero. Whether you fly for VA, QF, JQ and whatever Rex is (sorry I don’t know), your well-being beats the colour, size or shape of your aeroplane.

all the best.
