Considering the present outlook for future profitable, at least break even, routes and service one can't expect Virgin to be in positioned to belong that sector to survive the next year. Always hoping that they will survive a hard headed view is that they are very likely to be squeezed by lack of passengers along with high costs which will put them at a very high level of failure even with the possible cash injection from RB. That said it's not certain that the injection will be made. I travel along with family members every year on a route that suits me and is just acceptable to me price wise as it's the only non stop available. Once did the same annual trip with AA, two stops but turned out three due to changes in its schedules. So I have a selfish desire for them survive never mind the miles I have with them. But reality and a view of commercial paths lead me to conclude to me dictates they will fall along with others in the real world of capitalism we all live by.
