really?
Wasn’t Virgin America supposed to be that? And look what happened to them.
Also, B6 was somewhat trying to be that in their early days (for all pax). But they’re no different than the legacies these days.
There are lots of examples of US carriers aiming to provide a better experience and charge more, and it never works financially. Ask those of us old enough to remember the MRTC experiment on AA. These things just don’t work on any level in the US.
