I just took alook at that thread.... I can't believe a Credit Card company can go from with holding 45% of your payments to 100% without much notice!

Who's next?

Far Eastern Air Transport (Taiwan) have applied to the High Court in Taiwan for "restructuring" last week.

With the introduction of the new high speed rail service between taipei and Kaosiung loads re now so small that (for example) Transasia Airways has downgraded equipment on the route from A320/321 to ATR72!!

Oh, and for the record Oasis 747-412 (B-LFA) operated the last flight from LGW to CLK last Wedsnesday bringing home all UK based staff.

Cheers
Wayne

Good news for VX(Virgin America)

U.S. and British investors behind Virgin America, the start-up U.S. carrier conceived by Sir Richard Branson, say they can weather the current turbulence slamming airlines and plan to soon inject about $100 million of additional capital into the company.

Thanks for the heads-up there Bevan... great news, especially for a potential future passenger like myself. What they offer really is fantastic, so it's good to hear the investors are backing-up their initial decision to start-up the airline.
