He would not have "contributed" his capital and his brand name if he did not care to reap the rewards. Do not pretend he does not have a vested interest.
VAI Partners LLC control 2/3 of the voting shares. It is their airline, not Virgin group. Virgin group only holds 2 of 8 seats on the board. So of coarse Branson would like to see Virgin America do well, seeing as it does have his companies name. But once again it is not Virgin group making decisions about the company or how much the employees are paid. They are only a minority shareholder in the company. VAI are the ones with control of Virgin America. Virgin isnt the first company to lend their name to other companies.
