Your article on Skybus was informative but it left out some inportant facts about the airline. Skybus ordered all of its planes from a foreign manufacturer, Airbus. By doing so, it chose to employ foreigners instead of Americans. It has caused an increase in our balance of trade deficit and put millions of dollars into the bank accounts of foreign nations. I've e mailed Skybus several times and they have never and they have never answered any of them. Knowing that the Boeing 737 is the most effiecent short/medium haul aircraft built, I cannot believe what the reason is, they chose to reward foreigners over Americans. Perhaps an inquiry from a newspaper such as yours, would bring some light about this subject. Leo Leary Springfield |
