The problem isn't the time blowout with the seats installation. The problem is the stupidity of persisting with an operation that comprises 5 777's. In his fleeting time with Virgin, previous COO was heard to have said "if we still have only 5 777's in 5 years we have done something wrong"........................????????
He's long gone, but the 5 777's are still here.
Maybe the insanity of having 3 shareholders with competing interests was something that he considered limiting to the business. Just saying.
