"How do you become a millionaire? Make a billion dollars and then buy an airline." -- Warren Buffett [http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/05/23/if-you-have...]

To add to that, Virgin America is a favorite airline yet struggles to make a profit

Thought that was a Branson quote:

"If you want to be a millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline." -- Richard Branson

That sounds like something Richard Branson would say (I think I remember reading it in Business Stripped Bare), but I believe Buffett's quote predates Virgin Airlines entirely.
