Their aircraft have already been scattered.
 
once an operating certificate remains unactive for 30 days, it becomed invalid. Therefore, skybus would need to go through the whole certification process again. hence, no chance in hell they would come back.

their business model was horrible. no chance at success even at $80/gal.
 
I jump seated on them a few times a month and they had the friendliest crews ever including the pilots. I was even going to apply there once I met the minimums.....

Consider yourself lucky.
 
John Weikle, one of the original founders is trying to resurrect it. It won't be called Skybus, but he's trying his hardest to start it again either out of CMH or DAY. He sends out weekly status updates to all the former employees about this resurrection...which I'm sure will never happen. Of course, it never ceases to amaze me how much money cities are willing to throw away on silly ideas.

Remember, it's not about building an airline. It's about seeing how much money can be siphoned into personal pockets.

Skybus pilots lowered the bar. Of course they're nice. They have to be nice to keep from getting their a$$ kicked by the rest of us.
