Virgin Australia to slash 3,000 jobs for slimmed post-coronavirus operations

Virgin Australia has revealed plans to make about a third of its workforce redundant, with approximately 3,000 jobs expected to go under new owners Bain Capital, while 6,000 staff remain. 

Chief executive Paul Scurrah said it was a tough day for the airline, but would not guarantee the jobs cuts would be capped at 3,000 when pressed by the ABC's Peter Ryan.
