Fly the Virgin Skies
5/19/2007 05:26:00 PM
Virgin America is finally approved to start flying! Good news for fans of Richard Branson. Sorry, I mean fans of companies that have a name starting with 'Virgin', as due to FAA regulations no US based airline can be operated by non-US citizens. This seemed to be a bit of an attempt by their (justifiably scared) competitors to slow them down, as it was almost a year ago that I saw some Virgin America plans sitting around up in Montreal.
You can check out some of their in-plane gadgets over at youTube. Highlights for me are the full embedded Linux media center for every seat, proper keyboard on the controls and a full 110v socket at every seat. Yep, they are totally targetting the current Web 2.0 boom kiddies with this one, and being based out west that's no surprise.

Matt Hobbs! when you talk IFE,I believe your are legally obliged to comment with wonder on your girlfriends award winning IFE. I guess Virgin will win next year... It looks 1000 times better than mine. And how connected!
Oh yes. My girlfriend designed the award winning IFE for Air Canada. Which is lovely indeed, although unfortunately only installed on a very few AC planes!
Hmm.. I wonder who anonymously posted that comment.
