Liveblogging Skybus Launch: Skybus Video Tour

All leather seats, a new plane smell, and the configuration did not seem drastically out of whack. The flight was not full, so there was a middle seat buffer in play during our flight.

As promised, there is no in-flight entertainment and opportunities for you to spend money on everything from food to t-shirts are tossed your way throughout the flight.

Not sure passengers will want to fly across the U.S. in these planes, unless you snag a $10 ticket on each leg of your flight, but for short flights they should be fine, as long as they stay relatively grot free.

Even Greyhound's drivers wear collared shirts (none / 0)

Eh, was that the flight attendant in the black T-shirt standing in the galley?  And towards the end, the guy coming out of the cockpit in the polo shirt--is he your captain?

Black T-shirt FA, named Fritz, was indeed in the galley.  As for the polo captain.  Possibly, but I didn't get a good look.  The dress code for employess is def. casual though.

Wow, that *is* casual (none / 0)

And I thought polos on FA's was the height of casual.  Skybus is going to make Southwest look like Emirates.

(BTW, what did Fritz have on his T--a third-party ad?-)

How was the selling handled--the watch/perfume/t-shirt selling that we've heard is part of the flight attendant's salary (10% commission split across the crew).  Heavy-handed Attention-K-mart-Shoppers PA announcements every 10 minutes?    Or, cotton-candy-vendor-at-the-ballpark barking up and down the aisle?  Or something else?  Was it grating, or fun?
