Don't the Chinese own 21% of Virgin, along with another Airline and two others over Branson who only owns 10%?

While bail out an Airline for the Chinese?

That's Virgin Australia. The article I posted referred to Virgin Atlantic.
At this stage, I suppose Dickie will take what he can get...

You're on a good wicket when you can privatise the profits, avoid tax and socialise the losses. It really gets me how wealthy capitalists try this on, hypocrisy.

Virgin went into $5 billion of debt trying to
compete with the Irish poof running Qantas.

Is there really room for 2 airlines cutting each other's throats?

Now the CHINESE are considering buying Virgin Australia
after the Morrison government refused to bail out embattled airline.

Good, why should our government bail them out?

I hardly used virgin airlines either interstate or overseas, their prices were never competitively priced well enough.

Any wonder they struggled to keep afloat of financial debt? Or just bad management?
Or a bit of both?

The dummy is the person who doesn't understand the question being answered. ie: YOU

They would have traded their way out of it.

besides, What do I care about their profit? I don't see them worrying about my profits.

Virgin flights were always more expensive than tiger and Jetstar.
Years ago I flew with virgin, I liked their flights and service, but when comparing costs at later stages, for instance, Tiger or Jetstar would be $89 from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Virgin would be $149

See the difference that makes for decisions of which flight to book?

In fact, last flight I did earlier this year to Gold Coast with Tiger airways was $69 🤗

You're as stupid as the people who lent money -
$5 billion to Virgin while they were giving out flights at below cost
and driving their business into the ground.
It's a scandal.
