Lenghty two piece story where Mr. Cush discusses fuel, Virgin America's finances, Branson's involvement, and carriers future plans including alliances.

Quoting LAXintl (Thread starter):

Thanks LAXintl for the post. Of all the "non-majors" VX has the best chance to succeed for their product differentiation, but nothing should be taken for granted. Let's just hope for the best, because airline start-ups based in Calif don't grow on trees....

Agreed. Not an easy time for anyone (airlines and consumers together). VX does have some strengths in their corner - i.e. deep pockets, a great product and a powerful brand image - but it's going to take more than that to get them through this record oil period, if it is a "period" at all. I am an avid supporter of VX but that being said, I am cautiously optimistic about their chances of success.
