So what you are saying is that Virgin USA is gonna buy spirit?

 

[captdawg]

No not at all. The owners had several talks with Branson, but they couldn't work out a deal. We had investors come in and buy part of the company, with that money we will double is size in the next 5 years, and change over to Airbus, and faze out the MD-80.
