I think the hard line on preserving ‘as many jobs as possible’ and ‘keeping the airline in its current form’ could potentially be more dangerous than say dropping the axe now and moving on, albeit smaller.
We are all for keeping jobs and so on, of course we don’t want people sacked, but if it drags on and on and on, and on, post June, it gets to the point where everyone is out of a job, due to some narrow minded view.
What is most disturbing is the comment that the process is on ‘Virgin Management’s’ agenda’. They need to rid themselves of this Management and start again. It seems Virgin’s Management team will be selecting the winning bidder. Won’t be Bain then, as Carla would wipe them all out.
