You may be missing diego's point. For the sake of argument, consider someone who is willing to pay $1500 for a VA flight. There may not be enough of these people to make $1500/seat a profitable price for VA to charge. But VA's failure does not reflect the preference of that group.

Said another way, those willing to pay a large premium for VA flights are not "at fault" for the companies losses. It is the fact that there aren't ENOUGH people willing to pay enough of a premium.

That's all I was trying to say. I think it's judgmental to say that the people who buy airplane tickets are "at fault" but their aggregate decisions are the reason VA is failing.
