VX video hitting competition on service

Pretty fun video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewqvjQtRAaA tageted at DFW flyers; presumably the competition is AA or UA.

Very clever way to differentiate the product. I like when a twin compares AA/UA's Y to the stress of a camping trip--rings true!

HA, that really was a funny video. I really laughed when the twin who flew (presumably) AA talked about the video screen going up and down and up and down and up and...!

Why is it so hard for AA to outfit their fleet with decent entertainment options?

A well-executed broadside, but they are quite annoying.

That's the part where I started cracking up. Up and down up and down. We've all experienced that.

Same--I thought they were acting at the start, but I think that's just them...

Presumably if one was playing the Kevin Bacon game this would be about any airline.

Nevertheless after deep thought we have decided this best serves FlyerTalks clientele by being but into the Virgin America Fourm.

thanks for your contributions

Maybe you need to spend more time around teenage girls. These two are actually quite well behaved. And I think they're very funny!

Target Airline sounds like AA the new 738 aircraft have those annoying screens that go up and down.. so 90s.

I thought that too! But the end made it pretty clear.

There are also VX ads all over Muni buses here in SF right now saying, "Don't Stay With an Airline That Turns You Off" and "SwitchToVirginAmerica.com".
