Virgin came in on the pigs back when Ansett went down.
Management were so busy telling each other how good they were that they missed the costly, inefficient beast that was being created in their own workforce.
Now caught between Qantas, Jetstar and Tiger, Virgin management are being subjected to something which is unfamiliar, and that is getting a business to shine in a market which is very competitive.
Hope we don't see another Ansett, that would be a great pity.
