Hey Branson is one of the greatest entrepreneur's ever. He has done so much. And it will be him that will be remembered for bringing about a new era, the era of space tourism.
I know the US does not need another airline, but Branson is a very very good business man.


Maybe he'll get an award for being "low cost carrier of the year" so that he and Johnny O can celebrate jointly.

Being a good businessman isn't always the same as doing what is best for the common good, taking care of people, and enriching the lives of the human race. I'd like for it to be, but sometimes it is more about saving money, cutting costs (including labor), and maximizing profits.

The trouble is that what makes a "regional airline of the year" by some standards makes a sad story for some... and hopefully Branson's company won't be a parallel to that story.
