Its just amazing how journalists talk things up – or down…
In any case, we have to recognise that its in SRB’s interest to talk down US airlines, just like Scumbag O’Riley talks down European airlines – SRB stands to benefit from anyone he manages to scare away from US airlines and onto his own branded Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America.

I actually agree with you Andy.
There was a potential rumor that went around that it may have been Virgin America that was going to go under. Ok, so they are not considered a ‘major’ carrier carrier, but by SRB saying what he said it has helped to deflect some of the attention away from the state of ‘his’ airline (even though he only owns 25% of it!).
