Maybe I'm just being naieve but cancelling one aircraft order could solve the pay problem and slowing expansion could solve the problems blighting the passengers and crew on a daily basis.
Sorry to say, I think that may be naïve. I doubt VS just writes a cheque when they acquire new aircraft, in fact, I think most are leased, aren't they? The money that pays for aircraft comes from the revenue that aircraft generates. If you have one less aircraft, that's less money coming in. None of our aircraft are spares, afterall.
