HGW - 3 times the amount QF were being charged??
I dont think so.
If this were the case then with absolute certainty Godfrey/Corrigan would have mentioned this in their media releases.
Being charged 3 times would definitely have gotten both the public on side and severly embarrased those at SACL - but surprisingly this was never mentioned.
Can you explain this and if so provide reference as to the supposedly ridiculous rate of three times charged to QF to prove me incorrect?
As for the farce that their engineering department has become you must admit that someone's head should roll.
If not Godfrey then the so called 'engineering manager' involved (and I use the term very loosely) should have been sacked.
As for the stuff-up when VB began in not providing the correct paperwork for their AOC and delaying their start up, this was a deplorable farce that was ultimately overseen by Brett Godfrey.
Jesus! Even those twits at Impulse got that one right !!!!

Even those twits at Impulse
Just because they have collectively ruined enterprise bargaining in Australian Aviation for the interminable future, just because they have set a new benchmark low for pay and conditions, and just because they are spineless weasels, doesn't mean that we shouldn't forgive and forget.
See, Woomeri? I can be nice....

Good points about Godfrey not doing it tough sofar.
Several mates in Virgin reackon this man makes nothing but a nuisance of himself running around terminals like a scolded cat.
The way he treats staff at all levels needs a good looking at and you can bet your life they avoid him like the plague.
As for sacking a Captain for refusing an order that would have violated CAO's,give that pilot a gold star for not belting the crap out of the whinger.
The VB drivers dislike him and regard him as a 'pilot hater'.
Great credentials so far.

Proplever - never a truer word spoken.
Brett Godfrey must have had a rocket blown up his backside from Sir Dick after that righteous cluster f#ck.
Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that bollocking!
Not only did it delay their start up and cost them not only loss of face and embarrassment, but alot of money went the way of AN and QF whilst the VB jets sat on the apron.
Pax and Travel Agents were also pi$$ed off royally.
Even Gerry McGowan had the presence of mind to employ the CASA guy that dealt with that area when they submitted their AOC proposal and had it approved on time.
I agree Godfrey has ridden the wave so to speak, but with a declining share price and the threat of Jetstar nipping at its heals he has yet to prove himself under adversity.
