• Failure saves lives. In the airline industry, every time a plane crashes the probability of the next crash is lowered by that. The Titanic saved lives because we're building bigger and bigger ships. So these people died, but we have effectively improved the safety of the system, and nothing failed in vain.

• What we are trying to do at Virgin is not to have one enormous company in one sector under one banner, but to have two hundred or even three hundred separate companies. Each company can stand on its own feet and, in that way, although we've got a brand that links them, if we were to have another tragedy such as that of 11 September - which hurt the airline industry - it would not bring the whole group crashing down.

• Este es un momento especialmente bueno para los veraneantes que planean volar, porque la administración Reagan, como parte de la misma política por la que recientemente vendió el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone a Wayne Newton, ha "desregulado" la industria aérea. Lo que esto significa para usted, el consumidor, es que las compañías aéreas ya no están obligadas a seguir ninguna norma. Pueden proyectar películas snuff. Pueden cobrar por el oxígeno. Pueden contratar pilotos recién salidos de la Escuela de Recarga de Máquinas Expendedoras.
