Someone has.....Look at where the share price closed on Friday. Although considered not an actively traded stock its performance does seem particularly woeful even with the Friday afternoon closing price shenanigans.
Ouch! Very true, higher than normal volume, but not significant either.

It did see a bit of a sell off right after a mum and dad investor newsletter (The Motley Fool) touted Qantas' turnaround and suggesting people buy that.

With a 18% drop over 3 days you'll also find that the shorters would have been all over the stock. The day traders will more than likely be keeping an eye on the shares as well waiting for a bounce which will see an increase in the price and then another sell off while the aforementioned get out of their positions.

I don't day trade anymore so don't have access to IRESS anymore, but could be an interesting one to watch (from a trading point of view). Especially if Virgin can get Tiger to turn a profit within the next 12 months. In the meantime I wouldn't see the share price as much of a concern.

Rumour has it that the sale/lease whatever you want to call it for the first e jets hasn't exactly proceeded swimmingly after all......... "Oh, what to do, what to do...."??

It's only a rumour young fella. But saying you'll take them and actually getting the finance in place to do so appear to be different things......

I haven't seen that sort of Frontier Gibberish in years. Excellent effort.

Forget the way DutyofCare wrote the message and take note of the content. He/she has shown in the past that he/she knows what's going on behind the scenes and is just being cryptic.

Rats have fled the sinking ship and there's a massive crew shortage within VA. This gives the company more reason to outsource the flying to Alliance. I doubt the ATR will be flying much in QLD soon, if GLT and ROK go that just leaves Moranbah and the odd Bundaberg flight. No wonder pilots have left, including very senior ones.

Why would the fleet come under review with less than 8 frames?
Why not apply that logic to the 777/330

The 777/330 fleet is under (has been for 2 years or so) with the plan to only have one widebody (B787 or A350)

I think the reduced ATR fleet future will be in NSW.

Is the rumour true pilots received an email in the last day or two all but confirming the demise of ATRs in QLD?

Half year results out today, JB confirming all E190 flying ceased in 2017 with the remaining airframes to be sold.

No 737MAX until 2019 either.

Who is the buyer of the 190's? Better outcome than parking them. Lot of ATR talk going on.

No Green Lights Ahead for V

The E-jets will be parked in a U.S Desert for an amount shorty.

About 10 x Ejet frames still have leases on them ( till 2022 ) thx to Pork Roll stuffing up a potential buyer when he used to sit in the SYD Throne Room.

No cash for the new B738 Max: are the 1st 10 going to Air Fuji

JB is Pig Headed on VAA A332 ops EBA saying recently:

DON'T ANYONE IN THIS ROOM MENTION BUSINESS CLASS COMMUTING TRAVEL TODAY THE ANSWER IS NO > I WILL JUST MOVE ON & ANSWER THE NEXT QUESTION

With that type of attitude, what possible chance have all the hard working crews got to help see a better direction for the A332 ops

So many issues to resolve for V now, we wonder how some managers sleep each night

What's CASAs position on Vs continual open rostering / unapproved leave scheme & the effects on crews just out of interest
