Skybus to Bid for Braniff: The president of Skybus, which has yet to put a plane in the sky, said he will bid for defunct Braniff Airlines as a way to get his shuttle service going. James Dent said he is in a position to offer $825,000 for the bankrupt airline’s assets, corporate name, trademarks, equipment and lease of aircraft and ground support. He said he intends to use Braniff’s operating certificate to fly a low-cost, no-frills shuttle between Florida and New York.
