VA falls into financial oblivion, government has no choice but to prop them up, buy out the overseas owners and put creditors on a slow drip... ala Air NZ in 2001/2, government pound of flesh is to clean out senior management with immediate effect... bring in new CEO. Bob Ansett is chosen and he agrees but points out with the collapse, VA name is now not viable, he will accept half the salary they offer on one condition... Ansett Australia is re-born... LOL
