Since it's now the evening of 8/7 and their website has not changed will the flights on 8/8 actually happen? JFK-SFO appears to be entirely sold out for 8/8 or at least you can't buy any more tickets for it. That's a lot of unhappy people, especially if they're not just flying it for the novelty factor.

Just to reiterate, DOT final order came this afternoon. VX is now a fully certified Part 121 air carrier.
Inaugural flights out of JFK and LAX were never on sale. These were reserved for employees, VIPs, media, as well as a couple seats auctioned off with the proceeds going to charity. Two tickets JFK-SFO roundtrip, one night hotel, and two tickets to tomorrow nights launch party in SF went for about $5000 on Ebay.
