I really don't want to say VA is in the wrong here, I was just pointing out the comparison between Jetblue and VA doesn't seem to hold much water, since Jetblue has 19% foreign ownership while VA had 49% and now appears to have close to 100% now.
The 2 majority owners of VA as still the 2 majority owners of VA. If you think that's not true, then you think that the executives have lied to the DOT and the press. Seems pretty unlikely.
