Such a shame they are all grounded.

i shaw it was political, as none crashed, just one hit some crap left on a runway. should have grounded the plane that fell off.

i think the running costs were probably a big factor in the end otherwise i think there would have been more of a fight to keep it in the air

There was more to it than that. Richard Branson wanted to buy the fleet and he could have made them profitable and would probably have been able to negotiate new routes. He was told no.
