Is this a piss-take Pammy on the thread about how low the VB share price can go?

Perhaps Pammy would like to ask why the QF share price is down to near its float price many years ago.....but QF has paid a handsome dividend every year since its float!

As opposed to Virgin Blue that floated at some $2.25 to Mum and Dad investors under the huge fanfare of that grinning publicity-seeker Branson and his whingeing, whining little side-kick Brett Godfrey.

The VB float was touted as one of the great investments for Australians by Sir Dick and is now floundering at about 33 cents.
And the only time it every really paid a dividend, Branson himself complained like an old mole and complained to the board bitterly.

Gee Pammy, spoken to any Mum and Dad investors about how much they have been taken for a ride and what exactly they think of Branson and Godfrey? Let me guess.........

And while we're at it, lets start a new service to the USA (where the economy is on the verge of collapse/recession) with a new and expensive aircraft type.
Let's sell tickets without an AOC, whinge about having to refund the money, whine about the Boeing strike, delay the start until God-knows-when, p1ss off the travelling public that purchased tickets in good faith and head straight into financial oblivion by operating to a destination with a collapsing economy being made even more expensive to travellers by the falling AUD$!

And dont expect much traffic coming the other way for a few years either because the Americans are feeling it even worse than us and their worst is yet to come.

Now thats an airline I would love to work for.......not!

Perspective Pammy......perspective!
