Whilst I have no experience in this what so ever, when did JB join virgin?
2007/8 somewhere and they were worth not much at the time
Every CEO is lumbered with previous CEO's past choices. Think 380/lack of 777. In virgins case EMB.
I agree he has not made many good decisions but he didn't turn a 5.6 B$ company into the one it is today.
AJ didn't turn QF around either. 400m$ is the fuel price,,250m$ is less interest on the massive right down.
You can float any figures to prove your point, every company does it all the time. Read through the figures and you'll realise airlines are a crap investment.
I just hope they last us all long enough for a good retirement
