Brand new airline?

Brian Wilson

That assessment cracks me up, are they trying to hire lawyers or button pushers for a soon to be defunct airline.

Sounds like quite a few leaving to generate the need for replacement hiring.

That's what I was thinking. Just recently, VX announced delay of aircraft deliveries to help slow the bleeding.

So why do you guys hate Virgin America?

lolwut

Virgin pilots fly A320s for RJ wages.
