Default Good Virgin America News

I was stuck in San Francisco after not getting on my flight stand-by. I looked over at the Signature ramp to see a great sight. Three Virgin America planes parked, making absolutely no money.

P.S. Did anyone else try to non-rev this weekend. MADNESS!!

This weekend was bad on the east coast too....DCA was nuts, and so was PHL...I've actually never seen the ticket counter at DCA so full (when there was no weather at all).

Protectionist?????? Well I certainly hope so. EVERY industry that the US has opened to foreigners has been a one sided sucking sound. I can't believe that anyone who has the capability to fly an airliner could actually believe that opening the US skies to foreign airlines will produce anything other than MORE UNDERPAID PILOTS. You can bet your @ss the other countries won't open us with open arms.

I see 2 Airbusses (Airbi?) and a BBJ. I think the BBJ looks like the same paint job that Speaker Pelosi got off of in Syria. Where is the third bus?

Hey admin: Why is this on the majors board? It should be moved to upstart like all the other VA threads.

It was parked on a separate line. I was unable to get a clear picture with all three of them. But there are 3 just sitting there not doing anything.
