If you chart the VBA and QAN codes they pretty much follow a similar chart.... both are having their issues due to the GFC.

Roller Coaster Of Folly
Good point HAT.The thread did go quiet after the share price rose.
Unfortunately,a quiet thread doesnt change the fact that VB is in 'deep do do'. Bleeding money at a rate that equals Ansett in its final year.
But hey,SRB is doing fine,still has a minor hand in the VB farce.Why not, he has collectively pulled in over $960 million since the share launch.As for BG, he was told 6 months ago to 'move on' ! He made the announcement a few weeks back oficially that he would be around for a year,I dont think so, he has since been told Dec 31 and its 'bye bye`s' for him.They need him gone before his ego sends the place to a deeper resting place than the Titanic. The board has been talking to several key people to take up the mantle, most arent interested because they have secret consultancy arrangements with QF ! Its better than 'The Bold And The Beautiful' !! Even a Mr DH is too incompetent to set up the international arm without the use of Consultants at over 10k per week, he too is in The Boards crosshairs.
All the loyalists out there who think BG is God need a wake up call.He is simply another buffoon who although losing a chunk of his wealth (and deservedly so) will retire soon into oblivion with great stashes of the green stuff, while the blinded faithful eventually wake up to the game they were played in.
Every time there is a suasage sizzle, party, and worn out gimmick announced it is simply a clever deception and ploy to keep attention away from the truth about the companies condition, and 'keep the troups happy and blissfully unaware'.
QF are seriously slicing and dicing,JQ and Tiger are run extremely lean, yet VB continues to hang on to incompetent Senior Managers and the plethora of 'wanna be Managers' in every department. VB has built the place full of unnecessary and illogical management positions, and in the process is sending itself broke. New World Carrier offering an 'in between service' ! What a crock,Senior Management are diluded and taking the Titanic down very fast. After 10 years it is time to cut loose the deadwood that has floated on top of the VB septic tank for too long, before its to late.
SRB told BG 10 year ago he would make a 'millionaires club' out of 6 start up Managers. Most have cut and run,now its BG`s turn. BH ( H.R ) took in over $13 million,BG around $180 million, the former bankrupt RS ( CFO) around $90 million, and the list goes on. Many Seniors who still work there have notoriously screwed up finances, payroll mistakes, fuel hedging, aircraft purcahsing/warranties and that list also is endless, however if your name is on BG`s favourites list or you went to school with him, then your job is safe. Incompetence will get you promoted !
Aagh yes,its not about the money is it, its about helping the Australian public who were held to ransome by the terrible duo of Qantas and Ansett ?? Yeah right. Just like VB`s true values, you can dry up that sad story and spread it over the garden...

My Oleo , do you need a holiday or what....Geez louise lighten up willya!
The first thing I was told when I started my first job as a roustabout/jackaroo was "Just remember all bosses are **nts". I've never forgotten that pertinent bit of advice and I've never been let down. Of course to every rule there is the exception. Had one particular boss in ole blighty who was a true gentleman in the real sense of the word, unfortunately he listened and even more foolishly believed what the accountants advised, bought the wrong aircraft and went broke.
We all agree that those at the top of aviation seem tarred with the same brush but there's no need to sound so bitter.....in other words laugh or you'll start crying.

The Shadow reflects
As the Shadow said on this page, if you have the inside track on Virgin Blue you always stood to make loads of money.
.
Those who bought up big at 15c (held, then reinforced their holdings at the 20c one-for-one share offer) will have nil cause for regret.
VBA is still a recommended BUY and hold at my brokerage house.
I certainly don't.......

Keeping The Manure Fair
VBPCGUY you are great for a laugh.I always enjoying reading comments from a VB zealot and loyalist.You obviously didnt buy in at the launch and watch your money go down the crapper ?? Dont worry, I certainly didnt, I was already a wake up to the farce many years ago and invested substantially in property instead and wont have to jot my name down desperately in an overtime book!!! Sadly many loyal staff and mum and dad investors had to watch there little patch of wealth evaporate while VB`s heirachy enjoyed the fruits of those investors pain.
You just go back to stacking those bags 'handles facing forward' and remember me one day in the future when you are awoken rudely from your VB Dream and you receive what all staff eventually receive (except the chosen few at the top) 'a slap in the face' !!
Hell,I think you should even borrow 50k and put the whole lot down on some VB shares if you are so confident, what do you reckon ??

Not a loyalist at all,. and I havent invested anything in VBA, what I find amazing is all the 'doomsdayers' such as yourself jump all over VB at the drop of a hat yet things are on the improve for all airlines globally and now you mock people and their jobs and get a kick out of it.,
You stated alot of supposed financial facts so you either have inside knowledge or your are pulling your cock and typing at the same time???

oleo - do you actually work for VB ??? I have no idea what goes on at the Villiage of idiots in the valley but no one at the coalface are under any illusions about what the reality of working at VB is. Cabin ,Ground, and Flight crew have been fighting to get better EBAs for years now. General disdane would be the general attitude to management, so I don`t know where you get all this "loyalist, BG is a God" crap. That said no one wants the company to fold, which despite your hype to the contrary, it probably will not.

'VBPCGUY`s Latest Wealth Status' and one for 'Slice' !
VBPCGUY, Here you go Knob Jockey, latest pricing $0.490 
[QUOTE]
But no doubt you got all 'warm and fuzzy' and booked yourself a seat on the exciting 40 000 Feet Concert, correct ??As for spreading manure, thats pretty much what you do each shift isnt it ?
Slice -
I agree about your 'going broke' statement. Someone will come along and save the day for VB, of that I have no doubt. Do I want to see all the good people out of work at VB, absolutely not.
My point is that under the 'present incompetent,inadequate,ill-informed,egotistical, beligerent, arrogant ' Management structure, the place is slowly dying. If ALL the
useless parasitic Managers that have been onboard BG`s gravy train from start up were swept out with the nightly garbage then the place could be healed.
To that question I say "you dont know where I am at, but you will know where I have been".
[QUOTE]
Up a further 2cents to .53
Oleo if you truely know all that info you are spreading manure from the inside.

Sounds like the kind of thing a company might do in the last days (months) of its operation.
By the same token, it may also be a prudent move when cash is needed.
For VB and its employees sake, I hope it goes well.
