Nice...

A cheap operation that lowered the standards of the industry and employee compensation even lower than it already is. Good riddance.

This has been a rough ten days for the airline industry. http://www.skybus.com/

Wow, never saw that coming.

I wish I could work up some sympathy for pilots who pursued employment at that operation. Tough though, since they undercut every third-rate regional Captain's wages.

A certain song comes to mind, kinda goes like this ..... Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey heyyyy, Goodbye!!!!!

I LOL'd at this...

I'm going to hell...

now if only a certain "Redwood" would become "Deadwood"

 

[Flash]

Are (were) some of the Skybus aircraft leased from Vigin America?

 

[airplane wizard]

I wonder if Virigin America will be next

 

[Baze]

Wishful thinking Mookie. VA has Sir Branson's cash backing them up. Oh yeah, I forgot... they are not foreign owned. But, Branson still has a lot of cash.

I dont have a problem with that- as long as there are equivalent mainline orders of new jets. Don't tell me to go f*ck myself while you chill in your lakehouse. Load factors are too high to have a reduction in RJ flying and not see new orders anywhere domestically.
