Thanks folks!

No interline bags for now... and I am not sure if they pursue that options, as they are a LCC. But who knows? I think VX does not really need to pursue interlining with other US airlines, but pursuing interline bag transfers with international airlines may be a more useful thing and a good chance to get more international traffic. The most valuable aspect of the Virgin brand is the international recognition...

Well yes, VX really offers a product that can compete with AA and UA for a bit of the J market, but of course, on the LAX market, they still can't compete with AA and UA head to head because of the lower frequency, but for SFO, they may have a chance.

But AA seems to have the vision to make sure no loss of business traffic by matching VX F fares with an AA 14 days "I" Business fares... although change fee applies (VX is non-refundable on the cheapest J fares, but no change fee) and the 14 days thing... UA is not matching at all and I actually think UA will lose much traffic to VX on the SFO routes especially VX's F and Y products are really league ahead of UA p.s. J and Y. I think if VX can focus on SFO-JFK and add a few more flights, it can seriously pose a threat to AA and UA. But of course, the problem is with JFK itself - a really bad airport with low on time reliability. The flights these days seem to be good with being on time are the mid morning, noon, and early afternoon from jFK, and the early morning and redeye flights from the West Coast.
