Virgin America to Merging Airlines: Let Us Into Your Hubs - Businessweek

Just for the record, Texas International was not a child of deregulation. Trans Texas Airways, aka Tree Top, aka Tinker Toy, provided service to twenty six cities in Texas during the 50s and 60s. They changed their name to Texas International in 1969, nine years before the Airline Deregulation Act was signed.

Now back to whatever it is you're talking about.

Great info, I was mistaken. I know that is strange to hear on APC, but guess what ? I made a mistake. Have a great day

Congrats on the merger clearing DOJ. I hope that your management remembers VX's gate/slot grab attempt once the dust settles. ... perhaps they'll start when the EWR gates and slots you're leasing to VX come up for renewal?

Maybe AA will do to VX what DL is doing AS.

JBLU also painted a target on their backs. JetBlue CEO: AA should give up all D.C. slots in merger


One way to 'return the favor' is to hire a bunch of VX and JBLU pilots with apps in at USAirways and AMR.

Jetblue pilots just got a huge pay raise.

No we didn't. Our hourly pay went up 13%, but Premium Pay went away. In the end, it was break even.:mad:

I saw the VA CEO on CNBC talking about the merger. He said that the slots in DC didn't help the little guy in Peoria. Remind me, how much service does VA have to Peoria, or any small city? What a crock.
