The journalist from the West, Australia's aviation expert, is under challenge from the village lunatic hijacking this thread. If you have an agenda to push, have a bit of respect for Virgin staff, and start another thread about Melbourne vs Sydney. Don't use their unfortunate situation to gain traction for your agenda.
Hopefully there is a new owner who keeps Virgin moving the way it was. I have been through the AN debacle, and seriously feel for all you employees and the uncertainty that comes with it. Along with everybody else in the industry who is stood down.
