More Rampant Speculation: Will Virgin America Announce Miami Service?

The future for Virgin America is staying murky, despite our best efforts to tease out the next destinations for the airline. This time, we got Miami International Airport spokesman Greg Chin's take on whether the upstart would fly into South Florida anytime soon:

We don't comment publicly about potential new carriers, because it can have a negative effect on the negotiation process with airlines.

Ah-hah, we thought! That means Virgin is considering the airport, right? Maybe:

We can't tell you what Virgin is considering because we are not Virgin.

Greg suggested we contact Virgin Atlantic, but that won't do us much good, since the US carrier operates independently from the Virgin Group. (Though Branson's company does control a 25% interest in the American airline.)

Instead, we scoured the yellow pages, and called up the number in Miami listed for Virgin America. No dice; seems to be a fax machine of some sort. Jaunted member herz says the airline is hiring in Miami, but Virgin's yet to confirm that for us.
