I remember some years ago that the Samoan Govt (not American Samoa) leased a B767.
The only problem was that the cost of the lease exceeded the Gross Domestic Product of Samoa !!

A friend that worked for the World Bank also stated that the only real way that they could afford their own airline was through foreign grants.

If that really is the case then you can expect Virgin Polynesian to set a record for low wages.
Hell, it may even make the Jetstar guys look well paid !!!!!
