We all need to remember that this is the pilots RUMOUR network, not the pilots PROVEN FACTS network. Anyone who needs verifiable, concrete information would be better off getting their news from official press releases, and sources such as the ASX.
In a situation such as this, there are any number of things which could happen and it's entirely reasonable to speculate on a range of possible outcomes. There are news reports which have differing points of view depending on who owns the agency involved and some of their sources may be more or less accurate than their competition. Those who know for sure aren't talking, and those who are talking don't know for sure.
Let's not take anything personally, I'm sure the vast majority here want Virgin to come through this and wish them all the best in this exceptionally trying time. Hopefully in the not to distant future the critical decisions will be made and the staff won't be in limbo over their future.
At the moment we're like the meteorological office, scientists when talking about past events and reading tea leaves when predicting the future.
