Virgin Atlantic Jetisons Hong Kong to Sydney Flights

Delta as minority partner has pressured Sir Richard to drop the money losing route. There are just too many carriers serving the route. There will be a lot of cabin crew laid off in Hong Kong, but Cathy will quickly snap up the hot ones. Australia bills itself as "Asia's Neighbor" but it is a nine hour flight!
