The airline used to be called Azul Air or something like that but due to the similar startup down in South America by Jet Blue, they changed the name. It'll be nice to have a direct flight to EWR out of TOL. I will say that.

It looks like a long shot, but it may provide jobs for a while for some guys on furlough:

"Jet America will charge an additional $20 for a round-trip with an assigned seat, $20 to buy a ticket by phone and $10 to book on the Web site..."

So they are going to charge you to give them money? Why can't they just say a ticket costs $19-$209 and be done with it?
