To read some of the last dozen or so posts, you could be forgiven for believing that Virgin has signed on the dotted line and everything is hunky dory.
In reality, it's only Sky News that have reported what are only discussions. I would imagine that there are others involved in similar discussions, be they venture capitalists, others from within the aviation sector, or gawd forbid Mike Ashley. BBC News have absolutely nothing on their business pages about Virgin (or indeed FlyBe.).
Patience is a virtue!!
