Skybus may return again: Some ideas for making a go of it {Gadling}
Apr 10th 2008 7:44AM I like Jamie's ideas about Skybus re-emerging with a change in focus. Direct flights, even if market priced, would be a huge draw. My daughter flew from Columbus to Oakland in March on Skybus. Total time each way was less than 5 hours, this month she will be spending almost 9 hours each way due to lay overs. We would certainly have chosen Skybus for the time convenience even if the flight was considerably more than their old deep discounted rates.

Apr 10th 2008 7:34AM First, to Mr. Casy I hope you were just being dramatic, because violence is never the answer.
As for Skybus, I think the way airlines are allowed to simply close down is wrong ethically, even if it is legal. I think we should all write to our Senators and Congressmen and suggest that alll airline be required to hold enough money in reserve to honor return flights. Even if they had to contact people and tell them they needed to return within 48 hours (or make other arrangements), it would be better than stranding them.
My family is out the money for 5 flights, hopefully my credit card will eventually refund the monies. It would certainly help those of us who need to file disputes with our credit card companies, if they would reinstate their website links so we could print out itineraries in order to prove to the credit card companies that the flights were for future dates. Unfortunately by the time we get things straightened out; it won't be in time for us to rebook a flight for our planned vacation.
Good Luck everyone who is struggling to recoup their money from any of the failed airlines.
