Dynasty, Dynasty, Dynasty!
Virgin America has neither pilots, nor aircraft yet, they are not even an airline. I don't quite see where you see the "lots of others waiting"?
Jetblue has hired most of the USAir guys with A-320 time, the Independence guys are getting lots of offers from Netjets, Jetblue, Airtran and Southwest. Jetblue has stated publicly that they don't know where they'll find enough captain ready pilots to undertake the Embraer 190 program.
So you think that there are "lots of others waiting''?
Waiting for what?
Waiting for Godot?
Waiting for an airline that may or may not make it in a country that has had over 130 start-ups fail since deregulation?
The Nevada gaming comission would close any one of their casinos for such a poor return ratio!
