Petition for keeping one Concorde flying

The tickets you bought did not cover the cost of the flight. AFAIK
Concorde never turned a profit. With the condition the airlines are
in nowdays it would have been pretty hard to sell the stock holders
on keeping them flying.

BA's Concorde fleet made an *operating* profit.

Although this operating profit never covered the full development costs,
the taxpayer (the British one, at least) is better off than if the
aeroplanes had simply been scrapped when the oil "crisis" hit in the
early 70s.
