A DEBATE THAT MUST BE HAD
Let it go bankrupt, nationalise it and save the employees. Owners and managers can shove off.
I seriously want the government to help all employees nationwide, but there has to be a harsh quid pro quo for executives...no bonuses for ten years or until any aid is repaid. No share buy-backs ever again. Etc.

The author's point is irrelevant. QF have exactly the same private lounge setup. The question for the government is, do they want 10 000+ people made unemployed and have an entire country beholden to QF if it comes down to some form of Government Support?
The only solution to the ensuing monopoly will be to declare Open Skies. However if you hold a Chairman's Lounge Membership will you be really willing to vote for Open Skies domestically?

Yeah, lounges are another thing. In what ethical universe is it ok for politicians to accept largesse from an entity under their legislative control? I once operated a xmas flight to HNL with the then transport minister travelling with his family FOC. At least other countries have the decency to hide their corruption with a bit of flair. Ours are just pigs at the trough.
At the end of the day, we REALLY need a Federal ICAC to stamp out soft AND hard corruption, because, it ain't just airlines.
AND - we need to seriously curtail the government/business revolving door, address 'lobbying' and take the money out of politics.
Maybe after all this corona stuff is over, we can all take a good long look at ourselves, our society and governance, and work out a new social deal.
I don’t SA was part of that group. Straight shooter from what I’ve seen.
First step is an enquiry into 2010-18.
On the topic of the club there was a rumor getting about that it had no budget during the build.

machtuk , you contribute nothing.
It is not possible to exaggerate this seriousness of this situation for employees at Qantas , Virgin and many others in the aviation industry.
A level of gravitas is required when commenting. Something you lack.
Go away.
