Looks like it might be over for VA...

[Fubijaakr]

Guess you missed the memo:

1800+ furloughs at AA. 300+ at CAL. 500 or so at UAL. Who knows how many at LCC. 60 at AS.

Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

There are only 147 furloughed at CAL, still too high of a number, but fortunately not 300.

 

[Fubijaakr]

Sorry. I stand corrected.

someone call a news organization with the info...they will take care of it.

The way this economy is - why would anyone hope that somebody loses their job? I am surprised at some of these comments.

Remember - the fight is against management, not the employess! I am sure we all know at least someone who is at VA who was laid off from our current airline - why would you want them to get laid off!

Metrojet

I forgot "metrojet" what is the name of the VA pilot's union? Fighting management aren't they...VA is DOA

This figures.

A few years ago we bought tickets on Aloha. Then the next year we bought tickets on ATA. Yesterday, I just bought tickets on VA for this summer vacation.

I have that curse. You better hope that I dont buy a ticket on your airline next.

Have you flown on mesa or Go! yet? I hear they have some nice destinations...

We DON'T need foreign carriers operating (competing) domestically.

Thinking....

Think about the world overnight freight business. FDX and UPS.

If US airlines hadn't been "deregulated" and worldwide open skies had always the norm there would be two (maybe three) airlines that had 80% of the world market. And they would have US flags on the tail.
