For all of you people slagging off Branson without checking your facts:
1. Airlines operate on tiny profit margins.
2. Virgin pay more UK tax than British Airways
3. Bransons own usable wealth would keep Virgin going for about a week.
4. 1000s of jobs and FOOD exports would go.
Also..
5. Virgin Atlantic are flying in huge quantities of medical supplies
6. He is asking for bailouts for ALL UK airlines...so VA go bust, the rest will too... huge impact on trade, UK seafood exports...electronic goods imports from China
