Apparently, GSO is doing really well so far and although the pax mix was heavily leisure-oriented, there were no "Ma and Pa Kettle" types. Mostly people bound for Ohio or North Carolina cities or those who hadnt checked bags. I overheard the ground agents and of the 129 pax (144 seats), only 60 had checked bags.

People were buying food and drinks at almost every aisle (which honestly surprised me). The crew was young, but funny (a la Southwest) and even offered to have the inflight messages sponsored if a company would pay for it.

All in all, this was a very pleasant experience, and everyone on the plane was complimenting the airline and the fares. I'd give Skybus two thumbs up (although I still prefer Delta any day)!
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to fly them in July to BOS (oops, I mean NH).
