I know people want to see the collapse of virgin , yes it will probably shrink but that will be getting rid of the 747 &340s which they have basically done .
but I think this ship will keep sailing , sometimes it’s good to be a small fish in a big pond , to be able to quickly adapt is vital[/Q
“Desperate to travel “. Maybe, but get real, where are they going to get the money for travel from, which airlines will still be in existence, who will be operating your holiday accommodation etc. ? There will be other things far more important exercising their minds than travel viz mortgages, jobs, food, housing - simply existing will occupy most peoples’ thoughts! I can’t believe that anyone still thinks that this is a little economic blip which we will recover from in time for everything to get back to normal.It is existential , in some ways , potentially bigger than the 2nd World War. It will take a very long time for things to get back to normal. Virgin etc. will be the least of our worries !
lets just all panic then , that always works out well !
