How long until we can get the Skybus planes?
Now that Skybus has ceased operations, does that mean VX can get its planes back? Are they wired for Red?

The planes subleased to Skybus do not have any of the special VX features. They are plane jane.

More planes? alright! I can feel a new destination opening soon. Maybe after April 8 when LAX-SEA opens. They announced SEA soon after the last batch of destinations were opened.

They tried to get these planes back from Skybus when they first started operating, and were not able to. I'd guess it will be several months - possibly into the fall - before they're able to get them outfitted and integrated into the fleet if they have them back now due to the shutdown.

They better be flying them to PHX if they do.
