I think the shift will now start to move toward the ongoing financial viability of the QF group to continue operations. A injection from somewhere will be needed before the year is out, and sadly much debt will be carried beyond this. Much more than originally planned.
You can see why Virgin is keeping its operation bare bones and holding off signing new contracts with vendors at the moment.
I don’t think laying off more workers is yet the answer. They will need the revenue and scale when this thing drops off to repay all this debt. They need the employees. Shrinking the operation isn’t the answer.
I’d be more concerned around 787 Long Haul Low Cost vanishing compared to anything else.
