Thanks, MJ!

Had no idea they were this close to being acquired.

Ya real close it appears to being done.. Wonder if BofA will acquire the CC portfolio and be changed into Alaska Airlines CC's?  I saw this and wondered that... I was going to cancel my virgin america CC, but seeing this I might keep it..  Trying to get rid of my two comenity cc's

As much as I don't like Comenity, I am going to be very sad if VX is sold off and doesn't exist anymore. It is my goto airlines and I would have to find a substitute and that may not be Alaska Airlines.

Yeah, just read MJ's links.  It appears that Alaska is close to a deal that "may" be announced on Monday.

I was hoping VX will retain some independent, especially since SFO's T2 was supposed to be "their" hub, much like JFK's T5 is JetBlue's.  In my view, Virgin America has the best first class product in the industry, since upgrades are never given away for free, even to their Elites or Senior Execs.  Over the years, I've always preferred to pay for their premium product more so than the legacy ones, who give away 90% of their premium domestic seats.

I'm hoping VX will remain independent, since I'm not a huge fan of Alaskan Airlines.

Ya they might stay independent.. For whatever reason I thought virging atlantic sir richard owned it, but was I ever wrong lol.. Just used his name I am guessing.  Alaska airlines just wants more routes I am guessing as VA was not profitable until this last year or something?   Just curious if merger happens will comenity be forced to sell to bofa.. I can only hope so

Me too.  

From their humble beginnings in 2007, I've been rooting for them to grow and ultimately become my main Carrier from SFO.  At this point, I'm so tired of the legacy Airlines that I found VX's product both refreshing and a huge improvement over the UA, AA, and DL.  My plan was to burn all of my legacy Miles for premium cabin Int'l flights and begin flying VX.

A merger/takeover with Alaska may be a deal breaker for me, since they're just a smaller legacy airline to me.  These days, I prefer flying F and will refuse to pay money for any F class domestic flights, since the legacy carriers, unlike VX, give them all away for free.  No way I'm going to subsidize this practice.
