Would be a shame to see the red aeroplanes leave BRU. Best of luck to Danny and the crews.
After VEI closure the company made a good go at a downsizing and it looked like they were slowly turning the corner. Just a shame that Virgin Express Ireland wasn't allowed to operate as a Franchise, then everyone would have made a packet.
I think that really at the end of the day Virgin group is to blame.
We've seen this with other outfits in the past, they start from small focused companies run by dynamic leaders and grow into large flabby groups, run by boards of grey men in shiny suits, who inevetibly screw things up and run off with the loot. Only to show up running similar operations elsewhere.
Any way to all my ex-VEI colleagues three questions:-
1. Does anyone have a contact for any of the former 'experienced management team'? - I need a note to verify my log-book.
2. Has Maxim stayed in business over the summer without the VEI table's revenue.
3. Is it true road-runner is working in the Blue Horizon?
