Looks like Richard Branson is set to move into the US LCC market. It should make for some entertaining radio communications at least, like this one from Dulles:

RAMP CONTROL: Taxi west on charlie, hold abeam the Virgin.

ME: West on charlie, hold the Virgin.

Dave, wouldn't your response be more like:

"there's virgins in America???"

One day at London there was something along the lines of:

Ground: Speedbird137 Hold short of Golf, to allow Virgin in; they have a tight slot.

I gotta admit, they have some wicked cool nose art.

It really is a bus of the sky though, they used to be really good but now it seems your fellow passengers have no class or decorum. It just makes the flight terrible! I would take AA ANYDAY!

I wonder what aircraft type they are planning on using?
