While its certainly not going to kill Ual or AA, it should be a great part of our growth.

Awesome!!!

San Francisco – February 17, 2011 –
Virgin America, the California-based airline that is reinventing domestic
travel, today announces it will bring its low-fare, upscale service to Chicago
O’Hare International Airport (ORD), with daily nonstop flights from both Los
Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport
(SFO) starting May 25, 2011. Known for its beautifully designed cabins and
high-tech amenities, Virgin America has been winning over consumers and
sweeping the major travel awards since its August 2007 launch – including
capturing the “Best Domestic Airline” title in both Condé
Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and Travel
+ Leisure’s* World's Best Awards for the past three
consecutive years.** With legacy airlines representing 98 percent of domestic
departures at ORD, Virgin America hopes to inject some healthy competition into
the market.*

I wonder how long it will last? 10 months like YYZ or 11 months like SNA. And what's the over/under on the DFW service?
