Yes they would be competitors and no, branson hasn't sold his stake in Virgin Blue yet (at least not all of it).
Then again why doesn't Virgin Atlantic fly on SQ code share syd-sin, sin-lhr instead of an MH code share from syd-kul-lhr?
Doesn't make sense to anyone, but i'm sure SQ will benefit not only from their own feeders, but all *A feeders, particularly - UA, TG, NZ , AC and OS.
