"Many established airlines spend an average 2.5% to 3% of their annual
revenue, which can total in the tens of millions of dollars, on IT and
have IT staffs of 600 to 1,200 people, International Business Machines
Corp. estimates.

"Virgin America, founded by British billionaire Sir Richard Branson, has
just 15 in-house IT staffers and an annual IT budget of less than $5
million a year,"
