Conclusion: I'd be wary of CQAir myself. Having worked in the IT industry, there's no real reason to hide registrar and registration information. I gone through the web site and found it to be odd that the site is mostly under construction with very little detail about their business, contact information, etc. The site's content has nothing but "coming soon" and "it's a secret for now" crap. The Google ads makes me think it's a fake company or a front. The web site was designed using FrontPage with a standard templating scheme, which can be accomplished in less than an hour. The domain was registered for 1 year only vs. jetBlue who registered for 10 years. CQAir obviously have no confidence of their future existence. They did go through the trouble of creating PDF documents, however. The mailing address shares the same address as a chinese restaurant called China King. The area around that address appear to be a developing residential zone to the south and east of the address center. There's a shopping area to the south of that address. I'd stay off the site for now until they throw some press releases on wire service. Then we can investigate it more.
