Rumor has it Virgin America is looking to sell – Photo: Bernie Leighton | AirlineReporter

Airlines buying airlines. Mergers. These are the topics that rumors were made for. As I start hearing more rumors about the sale of Virgin America, I wanted to take a closer look at who might buy them — and who wouldn’t. Personally, would I buy them? No. I don’t have the money. If I did, it would be nice, though. A privately-held airline. Immune from Wall-Street capacity discipline bludgeons… heaven!

So now that we know I cannot buy Virgin American… who might?
