Virgin Atlantic USA
It's hard to draw any valid conclusions when my info comes from the ATL fishwrapper. It DID say that Fred Reid would likely leave Delta to go with the Virgin startup here in the USA. Reid may be a great businessman, but it's hard to tell what he did for Delta while he was here. Can't blame him for jumping ship...that's what I did in Sept after 30+ years. It'll be interesting to see how another startup fares in the USA airline world of low-cost competition. Branson is, in fact, pretty shrewd so maybe the big players had better watch out. All the UAL, AMR, DAL, NWA's need is ANOTHER low-cost carrier to battle.
