All we can do is wait for the 23rd of Feb when I believe VB will report to the market what is exactly going on. I dont think it will be good, QF and SIA have already posted quite gloomy figures. With VB unable to raise any money from the market what other options do they have? Will they petition the government for a hand out like other sectors have already done.

It seems that nothing will stop VOZ, they are advertising staff travel specials and plan to use the grand opening of VOZ as a fundraiser for those in the South and North.

Meanwhile back at "The Village" there have been no redundancies that anyone has been made aware of, just a lot of hot air as usual. Perhaps all this is being done to soften up the market so they don't over react and send VB's share price down even further. I wonder which banks are getting nervous about loans they have with VB.
