Article implies etihad may sell shares. If investor has SQ, Branson and Etihad aligned, that is more than 50% of shares. Doesn’t matter what EB thinks or wants, she will be irrelevant. Boards are in place to represent shareholders, not tell them what they can and can’t do.if a majority of shares want a particular outcome then the board would be powerless to stop them. The board can tell the CEO what to do ( theoretically) but it cant tell the shareholders what they should do.

if this shareholder revolt is successful, the current board is history. It cannot be a coincidence that this story surfaces a week after JB effectively resigns. I’m betting there is an in principle deal in place and JB is a dead man walking.

I hope you’re right!
It just annoys me that if he walks out the door early, his payout will probably be more than enough to buy a dozen McLaren’s.

JB and Elizabeth Who - haven’t they already left.

5% - probably Aeroflot this time.

Australian flag - didn’t notice one on the last walk around.

ps. Is the virgin pilot forum offline? I can’t login.

You all have it wrong, it will be Merrin McArthur!

Hoss

Offline for an upgrade I believe.

Could just be a conspiracy theory, but it’s interesting that the Virgin Pilot website went offline moments before the JT story was published in The Australian, and just as the push for JT to return was gathering momentum on that site.
Perhaps there is some truth in the rumour that the website is now being run by management.

if the revolt fails, I reckon you’ll be right. You’d be brave to bet against Borghetti getting his way. To me he makes Macchiavelli look like an amateur.

Fair point TBM, I think that was after they cut the cake then played ‘pick a flag out of the hat’ up at the village. Pure coincidence.

SHVC, I reckon it will be a “sharp” pick whomever gets the gig.

mic drop..

Ehh. A real Mic drop would be the appearance of the letter ‘t’ - inserted between the ‘a’ and ‘c’ on the day after JB departs the pattern with another bag full of gold.

:suspect:

Wrong colours.... anyway, I was admiring her figure and making sure the mud wasps weren’t looking for a new home ;)

Nothings worse than a bust covered in wasps!

Could someone start a petition to the board for JT. Sounds like 90% of the staff want it. Would we dare put are names in it and face JBs wrath?

I think that was mentioned earlier in this thread in regards to lack of expertise.

Either way way you can forget JT as long as EB is there. She ain’t gonna hire him when she fired him!
