Amy Vargo Claerhout This is super sad news and a huge hit to the employees of Fiji Airways and the island of Fiji. I’ve personally live in the USA and have had the pleasure (6 times) to fly the skies with Fiji Airways to Nadi and they are always the nicest and most accommodat­ing staff. I’m a 2 million miler with Delta and travel for a living and this pandemic has taken a toll on all of us. We will be back and stronger... prayers will be answered and the tourist will come back soon. I can’t wait for my next visit. I have someone super special there and I’m waiting to get back as soon as I can! We got this guys!!! Stay Safe... Stay Positive and have Faith!. Richard Allen Sad to read but you do what you have to do. I often fly with Fiji Airways and find them very hospitable and staff excellence over the moon. I’m sure those who lost jobs will be called when the airline picks up again. My blessings to all. Just one other thing: I have a wife and children living in Fiji. AnnetteAxe­l Mehling Very very difficult for the airline and for any decent CEO ! Fiji has to understand that this is happening around the world with ALL airlines - even the very ‘strong’ and ‘formerly successful’ airline companies are suffering, sending pilots home and cutting 10s of thousands of jobs ! No other way. Jane Evanson my favorite airline, do what you must to be ready for the future! If you need a volunteer remote worker, I’m in! Yvonne Lydia So sad. I hope for the best for all that lost their jobs because of this PANDEMIC life doesn’t end there if there is a will there’s a way just to say God is the same yesterday today and forever trust believe and move forward. God bless us all. I’m sorry to say these but time is short He’s coming soon families support and work together all will be good. Rajnesh Kumar Ram Terminatio­n is wrong,agree staff reduction is necessary given the circumstan­ces. How about layoffs and mitigation of staff reduction. ■ voluntary separation ■ retirement ■ resign ■ Long term leaves Retaining your workforce is important. Losing expertise is wrong..
