We can only speculate as you say as to why SQ found it attractive at the time but obviously it is no longer attractive to them, and in the present economic climate, probably anyone else.

Maybe the Chinese may want to take a punt, but would any established airline want to? I can't really see what they would get for the money, they couldn't even liquidate the slots without a controlling interest.
I may have missed something here, but I don't seem to remember anyone in the thread asking you to buy SQ's stake in VS!
No, I am not normally in the business of buying airlines. I was only trying to suggest that it may not be an attractive investment for those that do. I suspect you also knew that is what I was implying.
