I'm in. This reminds me (and I'm aging myself) of the old PeopleExpress. You knew before you flew that you had to pretty much pay for everything. But it allowed me, a starving college student at the time, to go home more often. The only difference I see is that SkyBus isn't actually collecting fares onboard. It will be interesting to watch how the traveling public will accept all this. I think the food thing sucks, but if I can get from RIC to OAK for under $100 roundtrip? I’m in.

I'm 6'3" and i can manage OK in 29" for about 2 hours, anymore and it's a struggle. Wouldn't fancy Burbank/Columbus in 29" though. I don't mind buying a meal on board, but I would object to not being able to take my own food in to the cabin. What are they going to do, search me? I'm sorry sir, but you can't take that sandwich on board? Sounds like pretty standard Ryanair/EasyJet Fare to me, we’re quite used to all this in Europe.
