Everyone on this site should be attacking these hypocrites first not the airlines.
Oh c’mon, corporate greed is everywhere. The airlines gouge specific airports (regionals) and the airports (mainline) gouge the airlines. Its double dutch. Everyone is out to make a quid when the times are good, and when times are bad they cry that they are being ripped off.
Make no mistake, Scurrah will go, and then pop up again somewhere else and/or on a couple of Boards. But he screws around for 12 months. Virgins position was dire when the little Italian jumped ship. Scurrah has played tiddly winks when he should have ripped the guts out of the center of the business to get it back on track.
Staff should be rightly pissed at how he has spent precious dollars on foolish advertisements trying to shore up public sentiment. Problem is, Virgin hasn’t been hard done by Qantas, it’s been hard done by its own Board and Executives, and now the chickens have come home to roost. It is almost criminal.
