Sep. 21--It's an airline without a logo, a fleet, a timetable or even a public route map.

But Virgin America is creating a stir in the airline industry months before its first flight is due to take off.

In the Pacific Northwest, two of the region's biggest aviation businesses, The Boeing Co. and Alaska Airlines, already are feeling the effects of Virgin America's pre-launch activities.

Boeing, along with its rival, Airbus, competed for months to win the new carrier's business. Meanwhile, Alaska, based in the City of SeaTac, is steeling itself for what could be a formidable new West Coast competitor.
