Plenty of rumours about that they are losing patience in getting a license to use the Virgin brand internationally (blocked by SQ, hence PB & VA), and may rebrand the entire group as VA or something similar. This would help signal a change from the old regime.

I really wanted JB to get the CEO gig at QF. I like what he is doing with DJ - they can't compete at the low end with Tiger/JQ, can't keep getting squeezed in the middle, so is going upmarket to pull QF traffic. Converting their Y+ (a stupid idea from the start) to a proper J is a good example.
