Vision Airlines, the charter airline that moved into scheduled operations throughout the Southeast, is apparently on ever shakier ground as a company.  Color me unsurprised.  The airline made grand announcements, entered markets and left them faster than a woman changing shoes at the shoe store and despite claims that some retreats were merely seasonal, it’s never come back. 

This is an airline with operations that should never have engaged in scheduled services.  It has used the wrong aircraft on the wrong routes and certainly for the wrong prices.  How do you compete with airlines such as Southwest and Airtran who, you know, fly to where people want to go instead of flying to destinations they do not want to go? 

Vision would be wise to shut this down sooner than later and retreat back to the charter operations it was able to fly economically.  At this point, continuing on is just an exercise in futility.
