What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

Agreed.
Otherwise, it may end up another "SQ WILL TAEK OVAH VA !!!!11! and will bring them into TeH sTaR aLLiaNcE !!!111!!" type of situation if this drags on for years.

Sorry, you have to explain this construction to me. I see you posted it a number of times - what's the context?

It goes back to the Borghetti and early Scurrah days when Etihad (and Hainan) were in financial trouble and news sources kept dropping articles at least twice a year about SQ initiating a "takeover" if not extended stake through "creep provisions" (since all of VA 1.0's airline owners were subject to the 20% rule) back when VA 1.0 was trading on the ASX.

A lot of users across the social media platforms including a few on here were hopeful of a SQ 'takeover', which ended up becoming a joke when it came to similar situations like now with QR.

Edit: The SQ/VA "takeover" media circus goes all the way back to 2016 when NZ sold up their stake in VA.

Here is the exact headline from The Australian, for anyone interested.

Interest in Rex assets pushes back Virgin IPO​

A float of Virgin Australia has been pushed back by about a year, say sources, after the carrier recently entered talks with Rex about taking on some assets from the failed regional carrier.

I could post the article itself, but it might be taken down for copyright issues.

I know its a week or so old, but I love this headline…

Let me fix it for The Aus:
