I would like to know what the proposed routes are for this new airline. I notice that they are showing a photograph of San Francisco Airport, so does that mean that they are going to use it for one of the hubs?

And yes...

We're headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our principal base of operations will be at the San Francisco International Airport.

Our first route is from San Francisco to New York-round trip, of course. Beyond that, we're thinking initially about cities like Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Dallas, Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston. Keep coming back for updates about specific routes as we get closer to launch.

That is a slick interior. Like JetBlue on steroids. First class looks nice too.

I hope that they can get going soon.

If you want to see more, I found a 5 min YouTube video demonstrating the IFE that I posted in my blog. Click here to see it. It does look really cool.

Beautiful plane, hopefully they will get the permission to fly quiet soon. The Virgin Atlantic product is excellent, thus I am looking forward to VA!

However, if the engines are too quiet, you may be in trouble.

It's shameful how VA has been stifled and bottled up by wagon-circling political players.

It's funny how the other airlines are acting knowing that their product is inferior.

Overcapacity is a myth. Let VA fly.

I'm not sure I want to pay $8 to watch a movie.

Onboard IM could be interesting.

The purple lighting must make food look horrible and reading difficult.

I think I would prefer an Apple Store look vs a night club for a flight.

I don't like the transparent screen separating the F cabin from the hoi polloi.
