Doesn’t inspire confidence that we’ll actually receive any cash to get us by until then. Hope I’m wrong.
Virgin wont be doing long haul flights & the other mob will prove their readiness by telling the govt & whoever else that wants to listen that it will happen on their terms.
You have to remember that the world revolves around them & their money sucking executives & nobody is ever right except them.
The cash will be used alright but not for the employees benefit,no wonder all the sarcastic smiles were on show at the photo shoot this week.
