Skybus website launched!

I'm guessing those of you who are defending Skybuses business practices have lowered yourself to their level with the job (ie. you work there)

 

[Wheres the van?]

If you have ever j/s on the tranny through ATL you would probably prefer the machine!

The key is that if you don't live close to one of their airports, you will need transportation to where you actually live. (if you live in Long Beach, CA, you will need to drive an hour from BUR for example) That will cost you even more money in gas, since LA gas is over $3.20 per gallon. That is the catch---it will cost you more if you don't live near Bellingham, or Pease Air Force Base, etc. The only ones who will benefit will be those living in boring Columbus. Except for OSU and the Buckeyes, the place is boring as heck. Would anyone in BUR, Bellingham, or GSO actually want to go to CHM for a romantic weekend getaway?


Bye Bye--General Lee

I have to agree with the General on this one. The last carrier in Bellingham I believe was Western that also flew to out of the way destinations. Western lasted something like 2 weeks. While I think Skybus will last longer, with such irrational pricing the first time they cross paths with an established carrier they're going to have their rears handed to them.

That's rediculous. This Skybus airline is a Communist airline. I'm suprised their slogan isn't "For the people!!!" Where's The Russian on this one?

My favorite by far! No one is allowed to bring food or drink! I am sure it won't be heavily enforced but still, its the thought that counts...
2. Hungry? Thirsty? Bring cash.

Most people love our full cocktail bar and food menu, but if you’re not into that, it won’t cost you a penny. Why should your ticket cost include your neighbor’s dinner? That also goes for blankets and pillows–which, by the way, you get to keep if you buy. Oh, and don’t sneak food onboard unless you brought enough for the whole plane.
