And in the news, what happened to Paul Scurrah...

[UP4014]

Paul is now driving trains for Pacific National, well from North Sydney anyway.

Paul Scurrah back in the driver’s seat, this time at Pacific National

The spurned Virgin Australia boss is set to take the reins at Australia’s biggest private-sector freight company.

Glad to see he bounced back pretty quickly after Bain/VA2 knifed him in the back

Basically back to the railways. He was previously at Aurizon (Pacific National's competitor) prior to his Virgin stint, and before that with Qld Government's QR as head of the Passenger division (prior to the Aurizon split from QR).

Thought some would find this amusing, a work colleague sat next to PS on a domestic QF flight recently, in J.... also noted his FF status which I won’t share because it’s personal but let’s just say it’s interesting

Seems he has well and truly burned his VA1 bridges, who can blame him.

Does VA fly the same route?

PN would be excellent customers of QF I am sure, so nothing would surprise!

Maybe they all should travel by rail, and not fly?

Oh yes.....

Who can blame the guy really. If you’d been through what he had, would you?

PN are a rail freight company. IIRC they don't operate any passenger services.

They run the locomotives for the Indian Pacific, Overland, Ghan and Great Southern on behalf of Journey Beyond. Not that it is really that relevant.

Pretty sure PS would happily fly either airline, whichever his current employer chose to use

 

[Must...Fly!]

Plot twist: His boarding pass said Qantas Club Bronze, and the flights were DSC to fast track to QF Gold

I guess no one knows if it was business or personal travel as well
