Predictions for the end of VX!
 

Similar thread to IT before it went bankrupt/inoperable for an extended period of time.
VX also has similar characteristics of IT-bad management, cheap fares, and better than average service.
My guess is before 2 February 2014.
Winner gets bragging rights, I guess.

I hope it doesn't happen at all. Just had another great experience yesterday in F on VX.
The crew was great and generous with the food offerings ^. Plus, I dont like for others to
be out of a job.

Tiresome topic.

Thanks for the compliment! Glad you had a great experience with us. We look forward to having you as a guest again soon!

Hopefully after February 2014, right? ;)

Can't wait for my first flight with you guys in two weeks!

I don't see this as "winning"- careers get ruined, an innovative carrier gets shut down, we have less options.

This is an extraordinarily graceless thread. Anyone rooting for improvements in US domestic airline service is rooting for VX. Shame on the OP.

I agree, but hopefully if the comments are all in one thread, they won't be cluttered in all the other threads, and all those comments can be moderated/moved into this one.

Not so sure about that. I can picture short term improvement of service, killing off/diluting to the point of uselessness mileage program then deterioration of service with no mileage program.
Don't want vx to die but don't really want them to grow much either...

Agreed. I am all for posters airing whatever their thoughts are, no matter how tasteless and unnecessary they are (such as this one), but if we can keep all of the bashing out of the other, helpful threads, it would make this board run more smoothly. Hopefully, the mods can do something about it.

Was this not true for IT as well?
Yet that thread remained for quite a while...
Have fares gone down in general because of VX? Not quite (though arguably I booked a few cheap tickets to LAX/SFO on AS thanks to them.)
Their mileage program is already crap other than maybe redemptions on SQ (and even then, they make SO MANY F/J seats available to partners, don't they? :rolleyes:)
Or VS (with YQ, and if I wanted to pay YQ I would just use my CX miles on BA on an RTW.)

+1

As a PHX resident, I have yet to experience these options you speak of. VX could disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't notice. By this point I wouldn't care.

I can only hope that when/if VX goes under, AA grabs some of the assets like the LAX T3 gates, any JFK slots and most of SFO T2.
