SilverJet airlines is the next one down. Look it up. Saw it on BBC and CNN this morning.

Just one day after the USA Today ran a big story about them.

I would think this is VERY good news for Continental and the majors in general. No more Business class upstarts (Maxjet, Eos, Silverjet) poaching their super-profitable business class customers.

Bad news for non-revvers; business class to Europe will be full again.

I guess the only one left is L'Avion, EWR-Paris...

Now if the domestic carriers could just get a decent business class service going. I know they are trying to improve it but come on, it's pathetic in comparison.

I think I read somewhere that British Airways was going to start doing an all-business round trip across the pond. Wonder what came of that.

This from the N.Y. Times:
British Airways, which is counting on its brand recognition as it takes on smaller rivals, also plans to start a separate small all-business-class airline called OpenSkies in the spring, flying between New York and cities in Europe other than London.

OpenSkies, if I recall, will be flying British Airways planes, but not using BA pilots. They will be hiring guys at a much lower pay rate to fly for them.
