If Branson sell all his stake in VS, then I may consider flying with VS. otherwise I have plenty of other options. Just personal opinion, please do not shoot.

oh god here we go again more pointless and annoying posturing from the bearded one. why doesn't he spend less time p***ng around with the media and more time on actually doing something about his lost airline?
Well to be honest, Willie Walsh should a) know better and not make such silly throwaway comments and b) spend a bit more time looking after his own lost airline in Spain which appears to be in much deeper trouble than VS is.

IAG is a serious contender on the international airline stage.
Virgin Atlantic was cool and interesting about 22 years ago and that's it.
Edit: I would agree WW should not be making such comments though. No real upside for him
This isnt the first time WW has commented that he feels Virgin days are numbered. I think he is a little upset that he isnt allowed to buy Virign. Thats why he has said it again now. All he wants are the landing slots, he is now aware that there wont be a third runway in his airport of choice during his time.
“I don’t think a million pounds would hurt him, I don’t have a million pounds so maybe a bet that would be as painful to him as it might be to me – so maybe something like a knee in the groin,” Mr Walsh said.
I personally would like to own an airline, I just cant come up with all the childish comments.
What do you guys think would happen to VS's partners and eventually joining an alliance? I am flying US Airways a lot and like the option of adding my miles to VS, does this mean this will change soon? I was also hoping VS will one day join Star Alliance because of the fact SQ owned 49%, but not it looks more likely to be SkyTeam? Isn't it the worst alliance there is?!

Forget star alliance. In two years us airways will be American Airlines and vs will be part of sky team. You read it here first
