I read the telegraph report yesterday. I appreciate that the airline has lost money this year. Its changing its CEO, and getting short haul routes. I feel this is a bad move for Virgin. Its only my gut feeling, I appreciate that raising capital is difficult at the moment. The UK needs a strong independant airline, along side BA. I feel Delta just wants Heathrow landing slots. If we had a third runway, they wouldnt even look at VS, instead allow it to fail. I also feel, pre internet (I might be wrong) that VS was the only thing that made Virgin group. Othewise it wouldnt be the global company it is today.
