Virgin to DCA

I think they were only awarded one flight.

Two slots were awarded, which equals one round-trip (basically what you wrote).

Heard VA will be shifting the focus away from SFO (money loser) and likes the LAX outlook?

But UAL will be doing it too. The we're granted approval to convert a dca-ord to dca-sfo...
va will not have pricing power, AGAIN. You guys can't catch a break......

Nah, just be sorry that your nonunion pilot group undercuts the profession. That's all you need to be sorry for. The competition stuff is the nature of capitalism. It just sucks for all the airlines that compete on that city pair that VA is going to be putting seats in yet another market that will make money for no one. It is that whole "history" and "doomed to repeat" thing. But I have said enough. There's no way I am getting dragged into this debate again.

Actually, if you would take the time to look around, VX's ticket prices are one of the highest in the markets we serve. Especially our First Class tickets. We may have the $149 fairs, but those are only about 8-10 seats per flight. This one trip a day is going to be a money maker right out of the gate (CEO's Words) and I can see that being true. We just need to add a few more round trips to SFO and LAX to really be able to beef up the ticket costs. Plus I will tell all of the furloughed UA guys you send your love.
