Amanda Hooton's March 13 cover story 'The only way is up' profiles Jayne Hrdlicka - the recently appointed CEO of the country’s second major airline, Virgin Australia - and how the new boss is faring in charge of a company that was in trouble even before the COVID-19 pandemic effectively ended global air travel. Joining the discussion with Amanda is Patrick Hatch, business writer for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, who specialises - among other areas - in aviation stories, and who covered last year’s ructions at Virgin. Moderating the chat is Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland.
