If only the National party had been managing Virgin Airlines...

[Mr Approach]

It seems from this report in the AFR that all an aviation enterprise needs to be able to succeed is a manager who also happens to be a National Party member.....
I seem to recall the Minister for Aviation (National Party Wagga Wagga) telling us the the Coalition wanted market-based solutions for airlines facing issues. Or was that only for airlines based in Labor held States; make your own mind up.

Mr Approach,

Unless you cut and paste the text of the article, posting links to paywall sites doesn't really benefit the majority of ppruners.

The article has already been posted in full in the Rex jets thread. Post 195.

It’s the politicians world - we are just living in it.

Covid 1984 proves some of us are more “essential” than others.

Shouldn't Mr Approach's name be Mr Proach? Or is that one already taken? Surely?

Brilliant, another Virgin thread.
