That didn't make sense. Unless he is counting on Virgin failing. Did anyone else pick that up.
Definitely would like to have been a fly on the wall when Senator Rex and Sharpy
were in the Wagga Wagga pub.
I think this is the point. If Virgin don't re-emerge, the first one to get operations going will be able to right size, right price and only have QF, which is carrying a huge burden of unused aircraft and pending redundancies, to compete with.
Compete against QF AND a trimmed down Virgin? Lunacy.
Remember,
VB was hemorrhaging before the AN collapse- Branson might just have taken that cheque. AN exiting meant
VB surviving.
VA surviving means Rex would not have a chance.
