Also to add Virgin only owns half of their 737 fleet (under 40 aircraft).

There's no way a new LCC formed under "VA Mk II" will be more than 38 aircraft (at most), as basically almost all (if not all) leased aircraft at VA will start to get repossessed by lessors the moment VA enters administration.
