Skybus Airbi at GYR

[NEDude]

Virgin America, which owns the right of first refusal on the leases, supposedly turned them down in favor of getting more A320s. I believe the leasor is the Bank of China and wants top dollar for them.

Skybus, with a ton of A319 production slots, goes under. Virgin America wants no more A319s - they only want A320s. Frontier and Spirit convert A319 orders to A320 orders. Record oil and everyone halting growth. Me thinks the lease prices for A319s will be dropping soon.

And Airbus is happy. They sold more slots than they could have possibly delivered on.

New Airline of out KCHA.

SkyTrain. Yep. Everybody like trains better than busses anyways. Especially in Choo-Choo country.

Heard it here first.

Maybe they will use the "SHAME TRAIN" callsign?

Midwest? NO, we are getting MD90 from Saudi. You heard it here first.

If you are Delta guy, you might be right....

I think you're right....they're wrapping the engines and it looks like they're prepping them for storage.

...or not..they now sport freshly painted (and temporary looking) foreign tail numbers. One of my students (from the UK) told me that they were Irish.

He was thinking maybe Air Lingus.

Don't know that Air Lingus now I do believe there's a Col. Lingus. Ask the General! I believe he's worked with Col. Lingus.
General I do believe all the girls love Col. Lingus!
