I sit here baffled that guys like Capt Drew, Kill Bill and the like don't run the most successful airline in history since you guys seem to have ALL the answers. To say right now, before they are given a chance, that Virgin America will be a detriment rather than a benefit is narrow minded. Funny how SW, an LCC, has some of the highest salaries and employee satisfaction in the industry. I guess you guys still have a stick up your a** from the Lorenzo era. Maybe you guys can finally come out of your industrial age stupor and realize that internet bookings by "bus people" are the reason the airline industry is in shambles and you guys like to sit up late nights and rip everyone new ones who happen to stare at a yoke for a living.
If I remember correctly from my undergrad days Econ 101 BASIC theory states that new companies create new jobs. I guess Branson (one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs of the century) is an idiot, all these new fresh faces are just as dumb as undergrad Econ 101 students and are throwing good money after bad. Can't wait to hear what YOUR airlines' name will be since you have it all figured out.
