    All I can say 😔😔😔😔😔 I had travel with them for times, and more than happy with the service… And thought it was fantastic. They went from Townsville straight to the Sunshine Coast… Now I have to fly at three time surprise from Townsville to Brisbane and then find my way back to the Sunshine Coast.😢😢😢😢

    Was a great airline. No complaints from any of my (very full) flights 🫡

    They had a combination of trying to fly planes that were too large on regional routes, and on the main city routes they were undercut by Qantas/Virgin.

    It wasn't on the most solid ground from the start. Airlines are expensive to start and maintain which is why so many have failed over the years.

      they say the quickest way to become a millionaire is to be a billionaire and start an airline. There's a reason you'll be hardpressed to find many airlines around the world that started in the past 10-20 years

      Lest we forget Qantas’s anti-competition moves like booking plane slots at airports in the full knowledge that Qantas had no intention of using them, etc.

    OMG! I’ve been seeing your stuff pop up but I thought you were just posting clips from old shows that were still relevant or were relevant again. I had no idea you were still creating new content. This is hilarious.
    (Always loved Hollowmen and those types of shows. Utopia is great but sometimes it’s depression too because it’s just too damn real.)

    It was not Bonza fault. It was the parent company 777 failure to pay its bill to the lease company.

      The receiver says there have been a dozen enquiries about buying it out and taking it over, so there is a chance that it won't die.

    Wait? Bonza closeing down is the first time I heard of Bonza operating and it wasn't BonziBuddy the windows program.

    I find this not at all amusing. As a matter of fact. Many Australians are so quick to tear down anything if there’s situations like this. I’m very sad about this and also angry. Australian people should be supporting and not bashing this airline whose goals were to help them reach destinations and families that other airlines don’t cover. Shame on you shame.

      We should be supporting an airline who isn’t going to be paying their staff? An airline owned by a 12 billion company? You think that’s acceptable Debra? Shame on you.

    So basically a couple of snobs on television have sunk the boots into an airline trying to fly people around the country. Instead of paying enormous prices just to get from regional centres to Melbourne or Sydney to get cheap flights. Your mate albosleaze could have saved this airline but as usual to busy giving taxpayers money to some American computer company

    • @bcjus2864
      @bcjus2864 4 місяці тому +1

      You act like Bonza is a charity needing donations - their American owners are worth 12 billion, and they’re now not paying their staff. And yet you’re angry at two TV hosts? Yeah righto champ.

      The company was making money. The owner of the planes wants them back.
