It will be a real choice. Already is at Virgin Australia.

Collapsing all the employers in the name of your “ rights” will be a major own goal for society.

Society is playing a dangerous game of pass the parcel.
It’s ok so long as somebody ELSE loses.

People have yet to wake up to the size of the numbers.
Worse than Great Depression

In an equitable world the entire public sector should take a hit, but it won’t. It never does. Private sector has been told to pay for it all.
A large chunk of public sector are furloughed on full pay. So doing nothing of value.

If it all ends up at the banks, everyone has a problem.
As I have said before on here: the problem with anonymity, dear Oracle, is that everyone has an agenda but secrecy hides that. It is easy with riches to pontificate.

Virgin Atlantic has lost money for years and has few assets since it leases its aircraft. It does have value in its landing slots and if it goes belly-up another airline will buy them and probably hire lots of VA employees as well. So those who fly from Heathrow will still have lots of carriers to choose from.

You argue as though a company going bust is the apocalypse but if there is value in it someone will recognise that and step in and buy it, and if there isn't - why should individuals (maybe someone running a "one-man" business) prop up a vain (alleged) billionaire with their money?

Branson is a snake-oil salesman and always has been. But perhaps you have been his quest on Neckar?

For the avoidance of doubt. I haven't.
