FYI - Virgin America leased several aircraft to Skybus while they were waiting for the DOT's permission to start up......
 
LOL-have you seen some of Delta's planes lately?

I guess a lot of airlines are starting to fall into that category. I love it when airplanes are missing letters of their name because the paint fell off.

I'm not sure if it is the dark color, but United and U.S. Airways have some rough looking airplanes.
 
Didn't one of VA's execs recently step down. Heard someone on the crew bus taking about it. Said they cashed out their options because they didn't feel VA was long for this world.

I hate to see anyone thrown out on the street, but any airline that states durring an interview "We can't pay you much, but we will make up for it with quality of life" needs to head down the tubes......
 
I talked to someone who left because they said quality of life was poor. I found it strange because they were super senior.
 
If there's one advantage to these insane fuel prices, its that they're gonna kill off a lot of the "bottomfeeder" LCCs and make investors wary of investing in new airlines for a long, long time.

I don't know of any execs who have left. And there are no options... there's no publicly traded stock.
 
One guy did leave VA. He was the guy who set up the inflight entertainment system. He left to go do the same thing for a Chinese airline. His job at Virgin was done.
