This and several other things are very worrisome... I know that VX's goal is to be the W Hotel of every city. Not take over any particular city, but be there and those who like VX will actively seek it out. However, expansion is going VERY slowly and I feel like there are a LOT of missed opportunities that jetBlue and Spirit are scooping up. I worry about the validity of VX in the marketplace over the next 5-10 years. I know they have a lot of plans for expansion and 40-something aircraft on order.
I dont know how anyone could expect expansion to move swiftly at Virgin when the product is niche in nature. I agree that in certain cities there will be people to search out and fly Virgin, because they like the product. But when you look at a map of the USA and start crossing off cities in which the brand doesnt work, its hard to continue to grow.

There is just a finite about of people in this country who like to wear fedoras, and scarfs in the summer.
