I am only vaguely surprised that BA hasn't gone after Branson on some competition issue, you know, "He's arrogated the neutral area of space resources for his exclusive use," and filed in Brussels against him charging monopolistic pricing, operating commercial services without a space license, etc., etc. Texas2SF@xxxxxxx wrote:In a message dated 10/4/2004 12:33:16 PM Pacific Standard Time, dkitchens2@xxxxxxxxx writes: Branson's Airline Family: Virgin Atlantic- International Service from the UK Virgin Express- European Low-fare; Based in BRU Virgin Nigeria- Nigeria and West Africa Virgin America- US Low-Fare Airline Hub SFO;HDQ NYC Virgin Blue- Australian Low-Fare Pacific Blue- South Pacific Low-Fare And his SPACE adventure now !!!! Branson is definitely the new airline king pin. Sir Freddie Laker, LOOK OUT !!!!! ========================================================= Texas2SF@xxxxxxx Writes: I met Richard Branson at his big party in LA and in SF for corporate travel agents, both were the best parties of this type I have even been, lavish! Both were for the opening of their nonstops from London to both respective cities! It was at the Museum of Science and Industry in LA over by USC. In San Francisco it was held at the Exploratorium. In San Francisco, I actually got to have a conversation with him for about 10 minutes, I'm very impressed with him, he's very charming, fun, and engaging, as well as being my hero! I decided to get the URL's for each of these airlines and add them to the group's links, under airlines, Have you guys checked out the links to this group? http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us/index.jsp http://www.virgin-express.com/ http://www.virginnigeria.com/ http://virginamerica.com/Main.aspx http://www.virginblue.com.au/ Pacific Blue is under the website for Virgin Blue in Australia.
