		<description>Virgin America will knock the competition silly once they start flying and the word gets around.  They have a knack of giving great service.  They have much bigger seat's in economy and give you a nice bit of food on the long haul flight's.  The airlines in the USA have long ago forgotten what customer service is about as it costs money to give it.  Virgin America will bring customer service back.

Britain&#8217;s Virgin Group will hold 2 seats on the board, or no more than 25% of the votes. The list of changes to the corporate structure is outlined in a press release. (Now, why didn&#8217;t they do this stuff earlier, when it was obvious their application was going to be shot down??) [...]</description>
