Default Skybus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skybus_Airlines

Anybody read up on how Skybus is going to operate. They are taking low cost carrier to a whole new level. It is true they sound alot like Ryan air, except ryan air pays their pilots extreamly well sky bus does not.

Secondary airports, not using jetways, no reservation counters at airport, Advertising painted on outside of plane as well as advertising throughout the cabin, as well as selling items on the plane(been called a duty free store in the sky), and of coarse their big cost reduction(the only one that departs from the ryan air model).... Employee wages! FA's will make 9 dollars an hour with no per diem! tho they get a 10% commision off what ever they sell and of coarse their ridiculous pilot wages.

Skybus=bad news for the industy
