Thank you and bye
Well, it's anyone's perogative to simply stop posting on FT and seek out alternatives elsewhere.
It's worth bearing in mind the title of the thread is "Global Airlines - a competition for BA?", and the discussion is framed by this. Many of the "negative" comments relate to a recognition that there is huge gulf between operating a few (heavily loss-making) media-hyped demonstration charters, and being in a position to operate a credible, reliable and sustainable airline. On the evidence so far, there is no comparison between Virgin and Global.
