In a fleet of 38 aircraft which are a mix of 4 engined boeing 747 and airbus a340/300/600 the average age is 6 years old........hardly tired.
Twenty one new aircraft are currently on order including the a380 and B787.
"Beardy" as you so disrespectfully call Sir Richard, is not in a rush to sell his privately owned majority stake in a national carrier.....nor is he likely to sell his private island anytime soon or the 400 other companies in his group.
He is window shopping at the moment.....as all good BILLIONAIRES can!!!

Seen it all before and still cant work out the smoke and mirrors tactics so I'll just hit the lnav vnav let the FD fly "you have control, I'll do radios" and wait with the other 96% to see what transpires.
