I have many friends flying for Virgin Blue, and although I dont think for a second they will go under I do worry how much damage V is now doing to VB.
It just leaves them very open to attack from say Tiger or someone else.V are bleeding cash at such a rate something has to change and quickly.
The Australian market needs a strong VB not a debt ridden shell that cant compete on a level playing field.

Government figures released this week show that Virgin's long-haul carrier, V Australia, filled on average 57 per cent of the seats on each flight in April. Qantas fared much better with 82 per cent and United 78 per cent.
