Ha. You have quite a self-rightous attitude, assuming you deserve praise for your efforts. That's something you will have to earn from the american public. Good luck, I for one will be amazed if you're in business in 2010.

Virgin Nigeria has 7 planes, and they came to replace the bankrrupted goverment owned nigerian airlines, so they have the same small goverment market monopoly, plus the cash came from nigerian investors ( oil I assume?)

Virgin Atlantic is 49% owned by singapore aielines, has 19 planes.when it started it was competing agains BA .

point is , the only time they had real comoetition (europe "domestic") they failed (virgin express). the US domestic has real competition too. I would not get too cocky.
