This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's not clear whether you want the Government not to provide financial support to Virgin Atlantic because of their plans to ask staff to take unpaid leave, or if you want the Government not to provide financial support to any company that furloughs its workers as a result of coronavirus.

Additionally, since you started your petition the Government has launched the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which will pay for 80% of an employee’s wages if they are put on furlough because of coronavirus: www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wages-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme
