Virgin America tentatively approved. Effect on AA out of SFO?

http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/...-0321skies.php

Any chance of an improvement in service/amenities to compete rather than just a fare war?

Or will AA begin to pull out of SFO like they did from BOS?

What do you think?

PS: I am very amused by this quote
"This decision will set a deadly precedent and open the door to foreign competition in our aviation industry," said Patricia Friend, president of the Association of Flight Attendants.
The whole thing about this approval is so silly in a country that allegedly believes in free-markets and wants other countries to open their markets to US interests.
