Can hardly wait for Virgin America/Atlantic to spread into most of the US. Have enjoyed their FA service, seat comfort, when flying with them.

Virgin America is merging with Alaska Air. How much of each airline's culture will remain when that marriage is complete is still up in the air.

Only way US carriers will substantially improve is by either regulation or competition. Good luck with the former and the latter is being fought tooth and nail.

3. Azul, Brazil
4. JetBlue, United States

Funny on these 2 airlines is that the guy who founded Jetblue also founded Azul. I believe he got kicked out by the board after that fiasco during a big snowstorm in December.

I second the Alaska Airlines vote of an excellent airline. We had excellent service, the plane seemed clean and their customer service when Seattle had a broken luggage loader was excellent.
