U.S. Virgin Blue?

There have been rumours about Branson mulling the idea of buying US Airways' routes (assuming they go on sale) for his entry into the U.S. market.

If this did indeed happen, a pre-existing healthy relationship with UA (albeit halfway around the world) might bode well for us here stateside! I'm guessing from comments here that Virgin runs a better ship than US does -- particularly at this point.
