but I'm not bitter about Virgin American or anything.

FWIW, Virgin America could still get bought by a non-airlines, such as an investor group. - ty97 Mar 30, 06:37 12
- my company is owned by an investor group - I am not thrilled about either option. Does Jet Blue let you fly stand by for free? I'm curious -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:45 11
  - I want Alaska to buy it, I got Alaska stock that is going up with just the idea -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 06:58 6
    - Jetblue feels like a better organic match to me as far as building out a more national airline, but there are benefits to both Alaska and Jetblue. - ty97 Mar 30, 07:01 1
      - That makes sense, so it won't happen :) -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 07:03
    - only if they are nice to my face and don't act grumpy while walking up/down the aisle - Epiphany Mar 30, 07:00 3
      - Alaska wins service awards all the time. They are probably the most liked airline (from a service perspective) in the USA. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 30, 07:05
      - Alaska Airlines is our favorite. Great service. -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 07:01 1
        
        I remain hopeful whoever buys it doesn't orange it all up -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 07:11
  - They do have free standby. Though it may be limited to the immediately prior flight. - ty97 Mar 30, 06:57 3
    - okay - that works for me. gracias -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:59
    - That said: Outside of NYC, BOS, MCO, FLL, LGB, Jetblue doesn't exactly have tons of flights a day to/from anywhere -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 06:57 1
      - They don't fly here at all. -- nm - iSpam Mar 30, 08:08
