#NEW YORK (AP) — Passengers cherish #Virgin #America for its mood lighting, live TV, fancy cocktails and friendly flight attendants. To increase revenue — and satisfy shareholders — the airline might eventually be forced to take actions, such as raising fees, which risk alienating passengers. Once a customer favorite, it’s now — amid lagging profits — facing relentless market pressure to add bag fees and cram more passengers onto planes. The company declined to comment for this story, but in 2011 CEO David Cush told The Associated Press that his airline hopes to „make a few hours out of people’s day a little bit nicer, more pleasant.” […] there’s no chance at a free upgrade to first class. […] its initial investors, including Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and New York hedge fund Cyrus Capital, have waited a decade to get their cash back. Analysts are pressing Southwest and JetBlue to make changes favoring investors over customers, such as charging for a first checked.

The new David #Fincher thriller „Gone #Girl” and the low-budget horror film „Annabelle” scored big at the weekend #box office, propelled by one key audience group: women. Both heavily marketed R-rated films trumped industry tracking figures by more than $10 million. Based on the popular novel by Gillian Flynn, „Gone Girl” follows Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) after his wife goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary. Contrary to what some might expect for a horror film, the gender breakdown for „Annabelle” was fairly balanced, with female moviegoers making up 51 percent of the audience. Denzel Washington is a mild-mannered one-man killing machine who single-handedly decides to take on the entire Russian mafia. The stop-motion animation is impressive, but the story is straight out of the 1990s, involving a civilization of benign (albeit disgusting) trolls, an effort to destroy them and the people who rise up to save them. Based on James Dashner’s 2009 novel for young adults, this.
