Should have bailed them out in exchange for equity.

The Govt may still, prob best to see if a private investor wants to step in first.

New Zealand airways? Look what they did with Ansett Roll Eyes

No - how about:

All well run airlines will be burning their cash reserves fast.
Bad ones will go under. Not much spare cash to go around.
Maybe Singapore ?

I hope the Govt steps in, Virgin is a decent company.
Take an equity stake and a deal for more onshore maintenance

Yes because scumo didn't want to pay goat beard Bransom his 15 million dollar a year pound of flesh to use the silly Virgin name and rightfully so. Also Virgin is majority foreign owned and we do not need another repeat of the Ford and Holden rent-a-job fiasco !!

Virgin Australia is 100% foreign owned.

40% is 2 Chinese companies at 20% each.

Bransons Virgin own only 10%.

The rest is -

Etihad Airways 21%

Singapore Airlines 20%

Free Float is 9%

What we don't need is Virgin Australia to become 90-100% Chinese owned.

Maybe the Chinese will buy them out?

That's the rumour .... but that's not what we want.

They already have a 40% share.

Australia will have another Airline exploit the niche left by Virgin. Just another brand that didn't cost Australian Taxpayers a bail-out fortune.

Jobs? Well, I guess Australia is good enough to make its own new businesses that are more Essential and more efficient to the new future ahead where Economic crashes might be common.
