And just to cap off my day Airbus have closed the social club until further notice.

Yes, I too am in a agreement. For me, Ayton is only 50% about the game, the other 50% is the social interaction afterwards. Iā€™d rather have a delayed Ayton than a much reduced Ayton.

Looks like VB guessed right. Two weeks quarantine if you arrive in Aus or NZ is going to kill a lot of FIFO international work.

No surprise but I hope they have the financial hit covered. It costs a 5 figure sum to mount that show.

they've at the same time said that Salute 2021 is going ahead and that tickets will transfer to next year (so they actually say postponed rather than cancelled). Good on them - must have been very difficult to avoid going under for good

Good to see a big show being optimistic. I wonder if it will indeed be OK by August.

Given Australia has 25 million people, 300k beds and a 10% hospitalisation rate is optimal, we ought to be well and truly past the peak in July. Of course, the unknowns there are enormous.
