VirginUSA is officially VirginAmerica.
They will be operationally based in SFO, but their HQ is in Manhattan (NYC.) Go figure.
I don't believe they have any intention of beginning flight ops before 2nd or 3rd quarter 2005. It will be an A320 operation.
As I understand it, Sir Richard Branson (and the Virgin Group) is not directly involved with the company right now (US laws restricting foreign control of domestic airlines,) but the company licenses the Virgin brand. I suspect Sir Richard will have some say as to how HIS brand is operated.
Their HQ is a bare-bones operation in an obscure little office building on Broadway in SoHo. The people there have been very friendly on the two occasions I visited. Last time the receptionist said that they have a large stack of pilot resumes already, but none had even been looked at (this was the first week in August.)
Their website is www.virginamerica.com. Last time I check it the site was very nicely done, but very short on information. They did say that eventually one could apply on the website. Their address is also posted on the website for anyone who wishes to add their resume to the stack.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
