Like my friend Stan says, I guess we’re all doing “deep knee bends in the cucumber patch” or “giving open-mouthed facial head butts to the groin region”. Thanks for listening to my rant, I feel a lot better, like Lewis Black or some other comedian ranting about something, knowing that nothing will come of it (like my money back).

Thank You so much for finally putting some true information out there to these people who constantly speculate on why Skybus failed. Everyone thinks they know it all. Apparently you were an inside source.
You complainers out there, I don’t think you realize just what an impact this shut down will cause the city of Columbus, not to mention the areas they flew. But I guess the economy doesn’t effect the “complainers”.

Skybus we will miss you!!

No lawyer will work on contingency for this matter. It is way too much effort for far too little reward. You would likely need to involve federal bankruptcy courts, which is $400/hr territory.

Yes, Skybus pulled a scumbag move at the end. The honorable thing to do would have been to refund all tickets and run for another 96 hours to give people lead time for other arrangements. Pilots and other staff might have walked, but it’s better to be working at 50% than at 0%. The investors, like Fidelity, clearly didn’t want to lose another dollar. They saw this as the best way to stanch the bleeding. Bill inDifferenter is not going to be trusted by many consumers if he gets involved in anything else. Maybe it wasn’t his fault, but he was the public face of the company and he owed consumers some honesty towards the end.

I had booked flights and hotels to take my familey to Florida for school vacation with SKYBUS. I even bought travel insurance tru them with AIG insurance company in case something happed.

I have saved 10 years to be able to afford this Vacation

you may have heard. SKYBUS went Bankrupt.

I just called AIG Insurance and tell tell me that the insurance policy I paid for will not cover SKYBUS going out of business.

My wife is Pissed, My kid is heartbroken and I am wicked Pissed and Broke. I paid my credit card bill already and SKY BUS STOLE MY MONEY.

SKYBUS SCREWED ME!

Anybody know a good Lawyer that works on Commission

As for Greensboro, NC — my girlfriend was treated awfully by some Delta (DALServices) contractors working the Skybus counter a couple weeks ago. They openly mocked her and other customers. They refused to call a manager when asked. The manager was notified in person by us and was on the verge of a mass firing. It was clear that she knew what was going on and her employees were just kids with an attitude problem. I mean, what airline worker calls a 21 year old woman a “girl” and does so while chewing gum? They screwed up our reservations and then didn’t offer us another flight until the manager got involved. The counter ladies just went “oh, well, you can’t board the plane so just rent a car or something. We can’t rebook you on another flight from here. You need to find a computer with internet to do that.” Are you serious? These Skybus fools didn’t even have a way to take more of our money. Your average 7-11 was decades ahead of their systems.

Bill Diffenderfer always looked like a hipster-wannabe yuppie who just couldn’t pull it off. Selling tickets moments before closing down? Sounds like the work of a kamakaze, not a “samurai”. I hope he really is going to write books again, because the story behind this one is probably pretty good. I’d love to know how they squandered $160 so fast.
