It won’t. They will get a proportionate amount compared to QF. They already made that call to axe the fleet QF has not. Those jobs are already gone. Virgin will need to wear those widebody costs in a number of years when they re launch.

Taxpayers cannot subsides wages forever and so they shouldn’t. Don’t tell me this is is breaking news to anyone, I mean it’s been coming for months.
