Virgin Blue is hiring ex-Ansett cabin crew. It may not be mainline cabin crew but they are interviewing cabin crew from Kendells, and as we all know Ansett owned Kendells so therefore in a way they are recruiting ex-Ansett. The same is happening at Easterns, who are owned by Qantas, they to are interviewing Kendell cabin crew.
So Dixon/Godfrey statements are correct.
