Oh I hope not! I love Virgin America.
Can’t imagine it’s an easy time to find investors for anything, let alone an airline in an already crowded market. If the investors do pull out I’d bet dollars to donuts that the competition will be doing some heavy lobbying to pull Virgin’s operating cert. Seems Virgin American might be on the cusp of a perfect storm.
