Having done a lot of work with local councils… pissing money up the wall does seem to be their speciality!
Yep, having been to a conucil meeting in my area, some of these people are from another planet. I don't even know how did these people get voted in.
These people aren’t bus drivers. They won’t be starting with another company tomorrow (or even in the next few months) and they’ll be packing up and moving their entire families across the country or world once again. How about a little humility?
Maybe you have not actually thought about the possible thoughts and feelings of someone who has been working for Bonza?
If I was working for Bonza, I would have seen everything you have all seen, plus more. I would have seen my own airline going:
- middle size timetables
- middle size timetables with big plans
- plans falling thru
- middle size timetables getting smaller
- we cannot even follow our own timetables
- middle size timetables to near non existance (OOL to MEL one flight per week, how do you even unpack this)
- my own job changing, from working for an airline, to working for a busline
I would have, spent at least the last 2 months, stressing / thinking seriously about my future, thinking how fast is this ship sinking, when should I jump how soon should I jump, is management going to make me redundant and have the money to pay me redundency, or is the ship taking in water so fast that whoever jumps first don't have to die?
I would have thanked God that today has come, and the decision has made for me. I would have thanked God that it is happening today, not 3 months down the track, which would result in me getting 3 more months of anxiety, and also result in every last bit of money getting wasted that they won't have any money left to pay my super.
Today is the day where we could breath a sigh a relief, and move on with life.
Of course, everyone take in these things differently. For me, I cannot see how could things get any better than what unfolded today. The last 4 months has been a torturous slow speed playing of watching a car crash / some episode of TV comedy show.
What happened here is completely different from what happened to VA1. When VA1 crashed in 2020, that was really sad, to me. It was run as an airline, no one saw VA1 going bust coming, it was truly unexpected.
