If they look after all those who have been inconvenienced they may win their loyal customers back. It is passengers that generate the big bucks so you don’t want them offside.
As for Scurrah, well he was the Captain of the ship for over a year. Captains should go down with their ships. Once things are all done and dusted and a new owner(s) is/are found there should be no need to keep ‘Mr $20k per week’ on the books. Out with pretty much anyone managerial prior to the collapse. CEO, COO, GM’s and the Board, all gone.
Oh, I know. Jane Hrdlicka would be perfect instead!
