I wish it were so, but Skybus will implode on itself within the year. Without a phone number to call in the event of passenger need, the upstart has some significant hurdles. Go to airliners.net and read the forum discussions on this carrier. Very concerning.
I disagree. Look at the investors. Nationwide, Batelle. They have very deep pockets and are very image-conscious locally.
More destinations are on the way (can't wait for Panama City, myself) and I'll put my money on them still being around in five years.
