Well I do agree with this, however the days of $50 return tickets to where ever will be gone for a few yrs, rightly so!
I hear certain radio personalities, Government ppl etc demanding SM step in and pay up to keep fares fair! Well someone needs to tell those ppl prices will go up after this we need to pay the debt back somehow. If SM comes to the party how else will VA pay back the debt! Not by lowering ticket prices that’s for sure.
VA will survive not as an Airline not with 330s,777 and the 70 737s. This will be JQ new competition, stopping a reformed VA from growing.
