Deloitteses will have earned every cent of that 26 million. No bull.

And I say again to all youse pilots who think a Directors job or a CEO position is money for jam, read the Deloitte report and think again.

My own opinion is that Virgins fatal error was appointing an MD instead of a CEO.

‘’A CEO is an employee. She is not privy to the Boards deliberations. An MD is.

To put that another way, a Board can ask WTF is this CEO doing? Where is she taking us? Do we want to go?

With an MD, she has her hands on the steering wheel and the other directors are just along for the ride.

You do not want to be a director unless you understand both the business and corporate governance. The Virgin Board didn’t understand either of the two.
