Catch your drift but

Cabinboy: Thats why the question asks the f/a's to ask Brett or Dick on there next energising walk around. It wasn't asking them to comment on the management decision, but to ask why the didn't help out.

Just to answer a couple of the points made by other people.
Bali was massively under resourced, when we arrived I gave the a/c controled first aid kit to a doctor at the door. We also gave every pillow & blanket there was. The injured didn't even have sheets so we have the memory of people being lifted of stretchers with all there burnt skin stuck to the stretcher. Kerry Stokes was there in his private plane, helping out. Believe me (Stormy) Bali was taking any a/c, anybody or thing it could. The Packers plane was there. There were many private jets taking 3 or 4 people at at time to Darwin. Qantas even took 800 Garuda pax who were told no seats for 5 days. The big Q delayed or changed 27 flights each day to make adjustments. For example the QF2 was delayed 14 hours out of London 3 days in a row, that really pissed off alot of people.

Not an attack on the workers, just think the Virgin people could of helped out. The media didn't have room to print it with all the coverage of the victims but plenty of people were saying it on the ground.
