If you bought Skybus tickets I hope you used a credit card. 

With a credit card (NOT A BANK DEBIT OR CHECK CARD) you have rights that in most cases allow you to get your money back.

Consumer Guru Clark Howard advises that for any purchase with future delivery like tickets, furniture, valuables that you use a credit card.

You have 60 days from the date of purchase to issue a claim for a chargeback request.  

From Clark Howard's website...."The Fair Credit Billing Act requires that you make a chargeback request in writing no later than 60 days after receiving your statement showing the airline ticket charge. If you made a purchase more than 60 days in advance, and your airline ceases to operate, you may have no claim to a credit. Also, check with your credit card issuer to find out if they will permit these same chargeback rights if you purchase a ticket on an airline which has filed for bankruptcy - some issuers may not protect you should the airline cease operations."
