VS joining SkyTeam, meanwhile Delta essentially declaring it a failure.
From Delta CEO Ed Bastian -
"One of the things that has not been successful in the airline world are the alliances. We, self-critical, SkyTeam alliance I don’t think we’ve brought a lot of great value to customers, I don’t think we’ve brought a lot of great value to our member airlines. And we’re going at this thing in a very different approach." (Referring to direct investments in airlines such as VS.)
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence that Virgin is embarking on a bright new future!
