WinAir goes bust
Just glanced at the headlines in the Long Beach Press Telegram this morning...WinAir calls it quits. I will try to get a copy today and write back with more info.

Yep. They got totally screwed by the FAA. Winair represented true competition for the LA market which greatly benefited customers.
Now we have to go back to SNA or LAX and deal with one of the major airlines.

Stimpy,
They only needed another 30 mil to hang on for a few more months. I have seen you pull out that big old amex platinum card before...you could have floated them a loan.
