Jesus you talk some crap Sunfish.
The users on this board just cannot handle someone having more knowledge than themselves (self taught economists, accountants, auditors, business analysts etc)
Pardon my naivety but does the debt goes away when the company is liquidated & it is just a sale of hardware ?
The AOC is owned by the company so you have to buy the company to get the AOC , not my area but how can you say abbra caddabbra all debts disappear
If liquidated the debts go , but also the company goes & thus the AOC is gone
I find the amount owed to aircraft lessors incredible , nearly $ 2 000, 000, 000 or the cost of 20 A320 neos
They can't have been paying leasing costs for months or years , maybe five aircraft lessors each owed $ 400, 000 , 000
That is serious coin & not great form on the part of Virgin
How is the Airline able to fly aeroplanes around now( & incur further maintenance costs , devalue) that they don't own and have not paid lease fees on & are not currently paying any lease fees on.
Is that not a bit cheeky ?
Surely the right thing to do would be return the aircraft to their owner

1. not my area but how can you say abbra caddabbra all debts disappear: You don't. The Administrators go to the creditors and put a proposal to them, that usually means a haircut on the debt because the company is unlikely to be a going concern. The creditors vote on the proposal and the majority of the creditors (as in majority of the debt, not numbers of voters) carry the day. From what I've read it'll be less than 10c in the $.
2. I find the amount owed to aircraft lessors incredible , nearly $ 2 000, 000, 000 or the cost of 20 A320 neos. They can't have been paying leasing costs for months or years , maybe five aircraft lessors each owed $ 400, 000 , 000: Not completely sure on this, but I believe the debt owed to the lessors is not for past use, but for the whole future of the lease agreement, so if there was 3 yrs left on an A/C lease, that debt is countered. So as I understand it the lease debt is for lease costs up to the end of the leases.
If liquidated the money received goes to the debt holders, but the unsecured debt holders (likely everyone bar the banks) are paid out AFTER the secured debt holders, so unsecured are likely to receive only Cs in the $, if anything! The AOC is still there I believe, but of what value would it be worth? The cheapest and quickest way (you'd assume) to start up would be to do a deal with the Admin and buy VA. The assets themselves in this environment would be unlikely to receive anything like book value, who'd want to buy used 737s atm; what would spares be worth, ground equipment etc? A likely Ansett style sell off which took 10 yrs and made the 2 Marks very wealthy!

OK Hoosten , what exactly do you really know about the “users on this board” ?
In almost 40 years in the game I’ve flown with graduates in Law , Medicine , Veterinary Science and a few Accountants as well.
They had all decided that the choice they had made at Year 12 had been a mistake . They enjoyed flying better. Maybe they will have to go back from whence they came. Then there were the graduates of the Empire Test Pilot School and US Marine Naval aviators. Etc. Etc.
All humble. Never told you unless you asked.
Myself, I only have a humble BSc ( Hons.)
So spare me the condescending cr#p.
What , pray tell , are your special qualifications that entitle you to preach to the masses ?

George, there is a difference between being a graduate and actually practicing. When I read some of the comments here on business matters, I am reminded of what some of you derisively call “spotters”. I have direct, costly and often very painful experience of that which I speak of. Particularly people in business purporting to be things they are not. I fully expect so does Deloittes.
I hope Deloittes has a handful of genuine buyers of Virgin as a going concern out of the “twenty”. I assume they are diligently checking right now.
Are you one of these people who think “anyone” with an AICD ticket or similar can be a public company Director or CEO?

Maybe I should have been a little clearer, if you're not qualified to talk on it, how about showing a bit of common decency toward these people.

I wouldn't swap your quals for mine in a heartbeat. I'm happy to PM ya if ya want, but you're more than likely to breach 'the code' and post them here as has happened before.

i’m out of this. Pilots as a group contain some of the most vicious individuals I have ever seen.. Maybe that is why Aviation in australia is such a sad and over regulated profession.
For the record, There may be any number of “buyers” in Deloittes “twenty” and it is possible that some of them have the most diabolically bad agendas you could possibly imagine.
‘
Deloittes would know this. I know this. I hope ferchrissake it all works out.
However I’m done here, with pprune, because I have never seen a less supportive, more vindictive, useless so called “profession”t in my entire life - with one or two exceptions of members of course.
You deserve your regulator. You deserve what happens to you, because you have no charity or fellow feeling whatsoever. It probably results from a totally unhealthy combination of the demands of flying and the Australian character. The result is toxic.

This time can you stay away??? You’ve posted very similar before.
However I’m done here, with PPRuNe,
10 bucks says you break the 8000 barrier.

back to topic, fingers crossed for a positive outcome for all VA staff. The sky needs the velocity call sign (or whatever company name may be used instead) chin up everyone, it feels like we are slowly on the way out of this mess.
Well said. Summed it up nicely. Makes the whole holier-than-thou sign-off seem pretty hypocritical.

The one thing I have found on Prooooone that's consistent is that its entertaining! None of us can singularly do a damned thing about the goings on in the aviation business, it is what it is despite all the crying all the vitriol and all the wild predictions!
See you in a couple of months Sunfish. You leaving pprune must be almost into double digits by now.

Its been a tough 2020 for the bottom feeder.
He has lost all of his online VA Angel campaigns lately including:
Then the news that Macquarie Bank is lining up to buy his beloved VA ("rip their face off" merchants).
Now the VA administrator is stopping his "Angel" payments so he has headed for the exit door under the disguise of a dummy spit....

Of the 5 or 6000-odd airline pilots in Australia I'd reckon there's probably less than 50 or 60 who post regularly and passionately here on Pprune.
To suggest that this 1% represents a common sentiment in the industry or has any has any impact on the regulatory or industrial landscape as a whole is drawing a particularly long bow…….

Sunfish has often added alot of insight to these boards.
His constant references to his overseas travel?
His bizarre ideas to blackmail political candidates to support GA?
His constant references to himself when topics are about you know, actual flying?
His constant references to people he knows that give him "special insight" into government, politics and business?
His pathological hatred of all things Qantas?
His pathological hatred of all things CASA and ATSB?
His paranoia of all things Qantas, CASA and ATSB?
etc,etc etc....
Or to put that another way, no one was interested in being subservient to his narcissistic postings so he has stormed off in a huff.
