San Diego: Virgin America's next destination?

No official announcement of what city Virgin America plans to expand to next, but this job posting for an Airport Team Member in San Diego might be a clue. San Diego was on a list of several key cities the airline hoped to expand to in the future. At the same time however, the airline faces stiff competition both in schedules and pricing, from Southwest; 18 daily non-stops from Oakland, 8 daily non-stops from San Francisco, 9 from San Jose) and fares as low as $39 each way. Could be a tough market to fly into.
