Some pretty strange ways to measure 'size'.

Try using a normal industry standard of tonne-kms performed. That would make VS exactly five times as big as BD (AEA 2006 data).

Yield per tonne-km is two and a half times bigger on shorthaul than on longhaul. So VS operating revenues would be about double BD's.
