"Virgin America was launched with a lofty mission – to make flying good again," said Virgin America President and CEO David Cush. "In the past four years our teammates have worked hard to do just that, by building an airline that has swept the major travel awards and gained a fan following of its own. Our success is a credit to the hard work of all 2,100 members of our growing team and to the outpouring of support from this community. We're thrilled to celebrate our fourth anniversary with the people who believed we could change the way people fly: partners like the Giants, local fans and flyers, and of course, our teammates.
