Yeah, because the last report was so shockingly good.
I have been around this industry a long time. I have seen many airlines start up, make or loose money, and either succeed or go down the tubes.
In all that time, I have never seen a worse financial statement than VA's first 1.5 month loss of $38 million dollars during a quarter when most major airlines made $250 million or more.
VA is still flying today because Sir Richard and other investors are pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into it. Have they turned a profit yet? Noway!
