Virgin growth projection
 
I was talking to a virgin guy who was jumpseating on my airline, and if I recall correctly, he told me that Virgin is planning to have somwhere in the neighborhood of 7000 pilots eventually. Is that what you virgin guys and gals are hearing as well? Are you also expecting a pay raise, and if so, then when? How are you liking it over there? Are the minn requirements less with airbus time? Any discussion of changing your uniforms?:D I am currently flying the A320 for Frontier, and i absolutely love it here. However, our financial status is not so good and I am doing a little window shopping just in case we go out of business. Thanks

Your not the only one shopping bro! You heard 7000 pilots? 700 maybe. Chick

Definately the best place to be right now. Growth will be huge buying terminals as well.

I also heard rumors of your CEO buying oil rifineries. seems pretty smart to me. Exxon Mobil should start an airline and they would run the show.

Just because they aren't union? they wear a totally different uniform? The pay is low?
Last time I checked 95 dollars an hour was still ALOT of money to ALOT of people.

Have last quarter's earnings come out yet?

Those uniforms have got to go, that's for sure!

Rumor is more bad news for the quarter. Anyone know any different? Don't quote me, but I heard another $30 million hit, could be all speculation or B.S. though.

I would be very very surprised if anyone made any money in the first quarter of this year. Second Quarter might see a profit for the more successful carriers.
