Do you really think Branson runs Virgin Atlantic?
Why does nobody point accusing fingers at equal shareholders Stobart? Or. if you prefer something maciavellian, Cyrus.
But as others have said, the finger pointing should be aimed at previous senior management.
Just for the record, I'm not into taxpayer bail-outs either.
The problem is that Branson is seen as the person who runs Virgin and is still a shareholder so many people I've spoken do feel that he should be coughing up the money along with Delta Airlines. Many people see a rich person and a rich company using taxpayers money instead of their own.
