A discussion about the airline industry, airline employees, and all things related

Virgin America fulfilled their request by the Department of Transportation’s certificate process.  VA has announced that C. David Cush will become Chief Executive Officer of the airline, replacing outgoing CEO Fred Reid. 

"David's extensive industry experience, business acumen and creativity are the perfect attributes for leading the company as it continues to grow from a promising start-up to a major carrier,” said Donald J. Carty Chairman of Virgin America's Board of Directors. 

In his role as Senior Vice President of Global Sales at American, Cush was responsible for all sales and distribution activities worldwide. Cush also has significant operating experience, having held the position as Vice President of American's St. Louis hub. 

I’m sure Mr. Cush will help expand VA across the country and help shake up service a bit around the nation.
