Check out his youtube videos first then come back to this video. Maybe you'll appreciate the hard work this kid has done for this project.

For those of you who say that VX wasted money on this new safety video, the reason why they changed it is because they were fined by the FAA for their previous safety video not being closed captioned. DOT fines Virgin America over safety videos - Travel Weekly
Since they had to add closed captioning, they opted to do a new video.

Not my cup of tea, but I'm not a young hipster - VX's target audience.

I am just curious how much is the buyout? and how many FAs have been there for 5+ years?

While we strive to save cash here at NK (and make a killer net profit quarter after quarter). VX just keeps showing us just how to do just the opposite. One must wonder what they inhale over there in San Fran.

No comparison. Entirely different business model. VX has turned the corner though in terms of profitability.
