If they were losing money hand over fist without the pandemic, a loan certainly won't change a thing.
The last financial report gave a loss of £26 Million on a £2.8 Billion turnover, hardly 'losing money hand over fist'. One of the main reasons for this was the ongoing problem with the RR engine on the 789. At times we would be down to 4 grounded out of a fleet of 17. This was a problem not of Virgin's making. We needed to retain fuel thirsty A346s and buy 4 A332s to make up the shortfall.

'lies, damn lies and statistics'
