Why does everyone associate Branson with DJ ??
He sold out a lonnnnggg time ago.
Untill recently, he only had a 4% share.

When Toll wanted to sell it, hey said he had no interest in buying it! I now believe he has around 20% ???? anyone confirm ?
He isnt stupid! Saw the writing on the wall

The Virgin name is owned by Singapore too - Once again - a Smart man selling out.
He was in town for the launch of his "Virgin Fitness Centre", seemed alot more interested in that than V Australia is you ask me.

DJ was a good LCC, then they went to the self professed "New World Carrier" and tryed to compete with QF, thats when things started going down.
From a all B737 Fleet - To B737, E-170's, E-190's now B777, a pathetic attempt of a business class seat ( folding the middle seat up ????? - do they really think business people are stupid) and Lounges.
