Please Mr Morrison, help us out.
From Flight Global;
“Virgin is also suspending earnings guidance for the current financial year “due to ongoing uncertainty of the Covid-19 situation. The carrier states that it is seeking relief on government charges, and at the corporate level, will remove management bonuses for the current financial year (FY), while board members will temporarily reduce fees by 15%”.
Amazing, ‘seeking relief on Government charges’! Once again, decades of mismanagement come home to roost. Management have been happy to bleed the airline and mismanage it to a point where there is not enough value in the war chest to sustain a potential hit to its very survival, yet it asks for a measure of financial assistance which at the end of the day will come from taxpayer pockets. Give me a break, how about Scurrah, his Directors and all Executive Management be placed on part-time checkin or ramp staff salaries for the next two years so as to assist the airline in trimming costs?

Yeah I wish Paragraph377 would just f**k off and crawl under a rock. He’s relishing this, I doubt the majority or his ex ANZ compatriots would wish an airline to fold like he seems to.

So you would prefer for me to pretend everything is ok, the world is fine, no virus pandemic, no job insecurity, no financial crisis and no mismanagement at VA? Ok, I will try.

Just sick of hearing your constant stream of ****, everyday, in fact multiple times a day. You said you worked for ANZ, why do you give a flying f**k what’s happening to the virgin boys and girls.

There could be a range of reasons why I am interested. As to those reasons angry man it’s none of your business. If you get anymore emotional I think you might start lactating mate.

The 737 is too big for a large chunk of the alliance work. That’s why they have most of it.
I get the point, but it’s going to be an expensive exercise doing what you want.

Rather than people spitting the same rhetoric over and over and over again, any chance of offering their opinions of what the airline should be doing right now to weather the storm, save jobs and save the company?
good day...

Agreed. You're as bad as the media reporting on every single roll of toilet paper getting sold at Coles or the current status of Penrith Woolworth's hand sanitizer stock. Everyone is aware Virgin are struggling, pointing out that the stock dropped another 0.01c every day doesn't achieve anything besides show your true side.

They have already paid for the Alliance work. I would hazard a guess and say should they decide to cancel work and do it themselves then tender contract issues might arise.

The QQ contract is sheer corporate mismanagement (folly). To sign a commercial contract without equivalent “stand down provisions”, well they wouldn’t do that with a EA.
No point in claiming a FK100/70 can do what a 737 can’t because that’s easily disproved, using the Southwest formula, own your airframes outright.
Highly doubt VAH paid for the QQ flying in advance for the term of the contract.

They already have 2 737-700’s which could more than do the job of Alliance F100’s.Surely they would have “get out “clauses in any contract.I have not seen anything from the unions on this matter.What are they doing about it?
wheels down; Are you confident VA has paid QQ for contracted flying in advance. This could be regarded as an Onerous Contract by the Australian Accounting Standard Board.
I have often wondered how VA could contract flying to QQ when it has so many a/c parked that they are still paying lease and upkeep costs.
