Re: Erratum to Motion for Leave to File and Response of Virgin America 

Inc;, filed March 30, 2012, in Docket DOT -OST -2012-0029 

Dear Ms. Wright: 

Due to a typographical error, the first complete sentence on Page 2 of the abovecaptioned filing incorrectly states "CFM53" engines instead of "CFM56" engines. Please 

replace Page 2 of the filing with the enclosed Erratum page, which contains the correct text in 

bold type. 

cc: All parties listed on the attached service list. 

Very truly yours, 

rJLL~

Erratum- April, 2, 2012 

Virgin America will likely be required to restrict sales, further decreasing 

available seats on what is already the second smallest aircraft proposed in this 

proceeding. 

Virgin America is, in fact, and as reported in the Flight Global article, currently in the 

process of upgrading the thrust for the CFM56 engines on its A319 aircraft. However, Alaska's 

suggestion that Virgin America might somehow be required to "restrict sales" of seats in the 

DCA-SFO market is entirely without merit. The upgrade that Alaska has put at issue requires 

the straightforward installation of an engine data plug and identification plate, accomplished 

during the course of overnight maintenance visits. Virgin America has already initiated the 

process of modifying its flight and maintenance manuals for the upgrade, with the upgrade itself 

scheduled to be completed for six Virgin America A319 aircraft, including the three aircraft that 

would be used for Virgin America's proposed DCA-SFO flights, by June 30, 2012, well before 

the date on which Virgin America would begin operating such flights. 

March 30, 2012 

Respectfully submitted, 

FJLL~
