Rumour doing the rounds on social media today

Virgin to be bought by Cathay

[Avinthenews]

No chance, it'll stay on social media

CX doesn't have the imagination.

[OK4Wire]

Well, it seems that Alaska Air has bought up Virgin America. (Bloomberg feed, don't have the link, sorry).

[Average Fool]

It's the only way to get some decent management at CX

[ACMS]

What..... you actually think they are any better ?!!!

You'll love their Pax in Y class all the time then won't you....

[crwkunt roll]

They have to spend all that profit somewhere, can't share it with the staff!

[qld330]

Pri 25 for them too?

[Threethirty]

"Cathay Virgin" and "Cathay Dragon Virgin" of course

[cxorcist]

The callsign "Cathy Virgin" has appeal if you're into that kind of thing.

"Virgin Dragon" sounds a bit risqué.

[Frogman1484]

I prefer Virgin Cathy and Virgin Dragon😂😂😂

[Stuart Sutcliffe]

It would have been nice to see a more expansive airline name, perhaps something like Virgin' On The Flippin' Ridiculous?

[swh]

Pacific Blue to be re-branded Kiwi Pacific with a brushstroke fern
Cathay Australia for domestic similar livery to KA
"Cathay" to replace Virgin Australia International similar livery to CX.

Clearly whoever wrote that article didn't see the Bloomberg interview, or they'd know there's no way a deal like that would come out of the 'brains' running CX.

[Soul planet]

welcome on board Australia Dragon

[DropKnee]

I agree!
The assclowns on the 9th floor couldn't merge a lemonade stand into the operation. Never mind another airline.

This article is total BS. There is no Cathay Spokeswoman commenting.
