A big chunk of that $80M was earmarked for the poor 660 souls who were unceremoniously liquidated back in June. I hope they are sorted before these clowns squander the cash like they did over the last 4 years.
Was it though. As part of the government stepping in, they were also granting early access to FEG program for them. The second round of lay offs when they got rid of catering, call center & the like are being paid out. Surely they should all be paid out.
I still remember in the early days of the jets operation & one his meeting where some clown suggested doing business lounges & business class even though that is exactly what cause virgin to crash & burn before.
As to the scarcity of engines. EY have probably gone back to GE and pleaded to let them back in on the maintenance program. Engines will need overhauling 7 if parts are scarce i doubt they will have the company in a better position before june.
